Yes you are correct Baz, I have been a member since 2003.
Firstly, I do not post as often as other people only when something is worth commenting on, either good or bad, as was the case in relation to the Shine in my previous post.
Secondly, I did not know there was a pre requisite for the number of submissions required to be a member i.e.417 posts in 12 months
Thirdly, I joined the forum as one of the first memebers when Keith was trying to get it off the ground and introduced myself on a one to one basis, so I do not feel the need to do a retro introduction everytime a new member such as yourself joins.
Fourthly, I do not have any personal interest in this Restaurant other than the fact that that I wanted to compliment the establishement in the same way one would leave a tip.
And finally it is so sad to see a knee jerk negative response everytime someone innocently posts a comment in good faith.
I expect you will probably have another pop when I post another comment in 2010.
Kind Regards and best wishes
