He only posts on Usenet under aliases now and only very infrequently.
However, when posting on web forums he gets into ego problems every now or
then but if the moderator doesn't ban the other person then Derek refuses to
post on that forum any longer.

On the other hand, he still claims his totally bogus PhD.

Heh. Like it or not, space-sim was formed for this very purpose, Stan.
I'm sorry it's not your cup of tea, but there it is old bean.

Now, please stop top-posting or Daniel Blakemore will be forced to run you
off Usenet.

As you were.

Lemming, Br d, and other UK members, Nats is a completely out of control top
poster. If you guys don't get him in line then I may be forced to assign
Daniel Blakemore to the case.

As if Im going to follow any link that you prats suggest! Its a shame that
the state of space sims these days is such a void that the only dedicated
newsgoup is covered in abusive posts about nothing in particular. Think its
about time I unsubscribed to this newsgroup as well - god my interesting
newsgroup list is getting shorter every day.

Its ironic. That is the advice that would have been given to you on

Delightful, innit?

Still, Stan serves a useful function here on csipgs-s. Admittedly, it
doesn't spring readily to mind but I'm sure it's covered in the FAQ.

And just what language do you think you're using?

The usage of the "-n" ("thine") form of the possessive pronoun is proper
when preceding a vowel (as in "ego") through Middle English. The "-n"
forms of these pronouns fell into disuse in Early Modern English, but at no
time would "thy ego" have been considered proper.

"Thy ego" is a modern, shallow attempt at archaizing (and/or aggrandizing)
"your ego".

Also, "thee" is to be preferred to "you" in this instance. "You" is proper
when addressing someone of higher social station, or when expressing
respect. "Thee" is proper when addressing someone of equal or lower social
station.

Please make the appropriate adjustments to your programming and call me in
the morning.

(I just made most of that up -- please only pay attention to the bits that
are not pure waffle. Thank you.)

Come on Stan, you could at least try to join in. And you never know,
you might actually learn something. Here, another educational link
you might consider ignoring, free of charge of course:

When will you get it through your thick skull that despite its name,
this froup has never been about Space Sim Games. It was created as a
froup where people could join in the BC3K flamewar without disrupting
more peaceful froups (namely csipg.flight-sim and csipg.strategy,
IIRC). You really should pay more attention to the froup's zeitgeist
before you pitch in with two left feet hurling abuse at innocent
people like Bill.

I suspect you are one of those people who thinks alt.fan.elite is
about the Braben series of games. It's not; it's for fans of the
Elite modelling agency.

Please don't leave, Stan; I for one will miss you terribly. you might
try to do something about your urge to top-post though. I know you
are using Outbreak Express instead of a proper newsreader, but you CAN
discipline yourself to post properly, if you really try.

It is, it first appeared in tha FAQ in version 01.09.02.02, on page
223, question 4097:

Question 4,097:
What purpose does Stan (AKA Stan) serve on csipgs-s? He just
seems like a useless waste of skin. A bit of a tosser really, who
doesn't listen and won't be told. It seems like he's only posts his
inane whinings because he likes people taking the piss out of him.
And the regulars always take the piss out of him every time he shows
up.

A. Why ask if you already know the answer?

Shouldn't there be something in there about Stan being Northeast England's
premiere "Web ArkyTekt" (tm, patents pretending)?

http://www.nstutt.freeserve.co.uk/

If you're still bored, Lemming, his website would benefit from a good
healthy grammar flame. Also, according to the 2nd paragraph he intends to
meet "WW3 guidlines", which I find mildly disturbing.
