Interesting.
It's certainly possible to find spurious resemblances - and make incorrect conclusions as a result, but sometimes it could have significance.

Thanks, Typoz. I wasn't trying to be funny or have a laugh at Andrew's expense. I never really looked closely at the picture (avatar) but I've just had a look at your link and I've got the idea now. Best of luck to him, he was always okay with me.

I see what you did there.

I think I must have been absent during his reign. Was it good...or not good?
Yeah, that was back in 2015 and you were in a hiatus IIRC. He gave us his best impression of Thor and then quit. It would have been unsettling if it wasn't so hilarious. I never had issues with Andy, but until Laird was promoted, I thought that Alex just liked that kind of user as sysop.

Yeah, the power just got to his head. Big time.

You'll have to re-phrase some of that for me, E Flowers I don't get what you're trying to say, but maybe that's because I'm English and I haven't seen enough of the world.

Conversely, that last post seems right up Max's alley.

He basically threatened to ban anyone that misbehaved (he waved the "ban hammer" around, like Thor does with Mjolnir), was met with heavy backlash and then posted a resignation thread in which he said that he was no longer that interested in psi... Because he was going to pursue a career as a comedian and had self-assessed that he had the talent to go professional.
