Good aging wines

Guest does not seem to be a legitimate poster to me. There is no e-mail listed, and he/she has a bogus profile with the occupation of bum. They also post an overreaction remark to the missing message, which they may have deleted themselves. If I am wrong, it will not be the first time. Other regulars here have posted appropriate profiles, e.g. Mr. Dutton, Innkeeper, Foodie, etc.

Various boards (not just wine) are plagued with bogus posters trying to start flame wars, get their kicks by agitating legitimate posters, etc. If you don't believe it, check out AOL. The wine board there has been disrupted by one pathetic individual who gets his sick jollies by stirring up trouble. They get their account canceled, but they just sign back on under another credit card. I for one am sick to death of the nonsense. That is why I frequent Wine Lovers Discussion Group for the most part -- any B.S. messages are immediately deleted, as are any flame wars (maybe a little too strict).

This board has always been civil, with great people here. I would hate to see it deteriorate to the point of AOL. I for one would like to see people have to use their real names here, and post a real profiles, o/w they don't get on. It is too easy for trouble makers to wander in and stir up a hornet's nest such as this thread. This is how they get their kicks.

'nuf said. Now you can flame away at me. I have my asbestos undies on.
