I made it thirteen members with at least one vote to their name last month which is a good proportion of regular posters so well done to you all - you know who you are! 
Half way through the month and I thought this was going to be a one horse race with James steaming ahead despite representing perhaps the minority (but not necessarily the wrong) viewpoint on here. Obviously his contributions will be missed but I think a break will be good for him while at the same time hoping he will be back sooner rather than later.
However, the winner this month did start off by arguing very strongly against James and has gone on to make some cracking match reports as well as making fine contributions elsewhere. particularly on the cricket thread and very well deserves to have his name in yellow for the next month!
Jon.....I appreciate your comments, you have it, as usual spot on.
The "get a life" comment was out of order - I'm sure had someone said it to me, I would have reacted too.
It may have looked like I was targeting James when the last 6 posts that I made on the site were to basically argue his forcefully made point of view, with an equally forcefully made repost. It was never my intention to bully him and I regret that it may have looked like that to some - people who know me personally will know that thankfully.
James probably bore the brunt of my increasing frustration with the ill informed negativity for the sake of it on football forums in general. It's really why I post rarely compared to what I once did.
I also,really shouldn't read .net after games, James is positively a rose-tinter compared to several on there ;D
Add the fact that I'd just done a 360 mile round trip (and got a puncture) to watch us park the bus for a 0-0 - I wasn't in the best of moods.
So James, carry on posting - (I actually agree with some of it, ok may be just the odd bit!) and Stuart, blood is thicker than water - hopefully we're both old enough and ugly enough to put our spat behind us.
I hate flouncers........but as it seems it's de rigueur on football forums these days, I'll happily take this one opportunity to de-flounce
Can't get it into the fascination with old trains though
and as much as I love my home town I really don't care much what it used to look like - I guess I must be the one missing out because everybody else seems to.
I might start a thread about poker theory, strategies in depth hand analysis and bad beats just to get my own back
