Well, the mythology will probably build, but perhaps some might remember that The (pompous) Welshman was involved. Dkos was the inspiration, true, and Booman was a spin-off into a subset of DKos - but  still US focused. The European version was originally conceived by Booman, J, the Welshman and others, but the W broke ranks and set up his own. Thank Blog!

Who would this pompous W'man be? This one?.

(Not me, anyway, I filled in the vacant pompous W'man slot later).

As I recall, he was a (barrack room) lawyer, and had a dog. I have the impression of an unlit pipe in his hands, but I may be wrong. He feigned advanced avunculism, and was reasonably intelligent, though lacking in humour. It was only the dog that really listened to him...

He played a nasty trick on me, and I believe that is par for his course.

I am not sure that he was Welsh - more of an immigrant. Any road, I have liked all the real Welshmen I have ever met ;-)

The comment was typical of #10. Perhaps he was the Prisoner of Portmeirion?

Time flies when you're having fun. Mind you I missed the start, joining early in 2006.

I remember W.... from the blog he started up, supposedly in competition with ET, which I joined before I came here. It never really took off mostly cos it just wasn't that interesting.

keep to the Fen Causeway

Yes, I was also there at whatever it was called. Amazing how you push bad stuff out of your mind.

But ET is now part of my life, and I bet that is so for many other commenters. It is sometimes difficult to fit in to a busy schedule on a daily basis, as you have discovered, but whenever I'm away or offline for a couple of days I wonder what is happening in the neuron mines of ETstan  ;-)
