Another Bot ? So we have Telemachus Jenlyn113 Naughtyfox Any more Bots? Naughty fox is not a Bot ...... He exists, I've met him !!! ( or was it all some strange dream ?) I don't think Tellymackus is a bot ....... they're are not normally from a proper skool that teaches the Classics .... (who unfortunately, somewhat neglected English) TellyMackus is real. I emptied my bog down his boat's chimney earlier today.

From an internet page somewhere.....
'An Internet bot, in its most generic sense, is software that performs an automated task over the Internet. More specifically, a bot is an automated application used to perform simple and repetitive tasks that would be time-consuming, mundane or impossible for a human to perform.
Bots can be used for productive tasks, but they are also frequently used for malicious purposes.
The term "bot" comes from robot. An Internet bot may also be known as a Web robot or WWW robot.'

But don't forget that some modern day Bots are very sophisticated.

I have met Foxy as well (in "real life") so I agree that he appears to be real. And the story about eating tuna from a catfood tin in the school bus improves the "non Bot" credibility. However, I have seen what advanced scientists can do in the MI5 labs and I can assure anyone who may be unsure that modern technology (not the for-plebs type) can do some amazing things.

I was wondering if Nick has fake rivets glued down the sides of his glider...
Sorry about all this. I can only think of one word that has 'gone astray' if it concerns an/the international 'aid' organisation/s - yet that same word has been used all over the News items/articles on the Internet concerning this current expose of abusing those who they're supposed to be caring for. I can't think of anything outrageous I've said recently, so I assume someone sensitive has taken offence at something. My 'political' comments are generally aimed at exposing corruptness and hypocrisy and lies - if these didn't exist, then I wouldn't be making such remarks.
My main concern is that I may have caused Delta some undue worrying, and that I may have let others here down. And this morning started so well...
One thing leads to another and recently I decided to go through all my boxes of 'stuff' to hunt for maps which may be useful with future trips, and that prompted me to have a good old clearout of my books which I have had for years. I think there is no reason to keep many of these books, in the English language, and so I thought I would whisk them to England and ask passing boaters if they'd like any. There are enough boxes to fill our car, so I thought about driving them over. But not this Summer, perhaps Summer 2019 (and that fits in well with another plan we have). I could put books that boaters may be interested in, in rucksacks and bring a small load over each trip, also. And that train of clearing out old items led me to this:
Because of today's events, the idea popped into my head that perhaps it's time for me to do some Spring Cleaning here and go through all my posts - starting from today's - and working my way backwards all the way to the beginning. I was thinking that no-one is really interested in reading daft comments made by me months/years ago, unless they are boat-related (as this is a boating forum), and it would free up some computer memory (although whether it would or not I don't know, and I also don't know if that matters these days with computer memory being so cheap). I wondered also if deleting my posts would make my post count drop - that's just a matter of curiosity and I will soon find out. The thing is, people here are mostly interested in chatting and the latest what's-going-ons. I don't think people trawl through ancient threads so much. I thought, also, that wiping off my more ludicrous and silly posts, then it would improve the image of Thunderboat, to any persons who happened to drop by and start browsing.
So if you come across deleted posts by me, then probably they have been deleted by me (I think if Delta deletes a post then it is gone entirely and doesn't even say 'deleted').
It's something I haven't done before, but I do like to tidy up occasionally - as indeed I have suggested a few times before that the list of members be given a good sweep with a stiff broom - all those who haven't been active and are clearly false should be given the chop. Oh, and also, it will be a fun thing to do as I can get to read my old posts and it will be like reading my diary backwards.

Foxy, it wasn't someone sensitive taking offence. You need to understand what libel is and realise that you can't just post unproven bullshit about people/organisations. Every single problem I've had from this forum has been related to posts by you.

Your like the balloon who went in to school with a pin.
Not only did you let yourself down, you let delta down and you let the whole forum down.

Every single problem I've had from this forum has been related to posts by you. I suspect no harm is meant, Foxy spouts before he thinks. Tarring all charities with the same brush has roused my ire in the past, doesn't happen often, someone commented on that this morning in the international women's Day thread, I came home happy and saw Chagall's post last night, boom.
