If you’re watching, Martin, thanks!
“In this case, I am 100% in support of Martin’s opinion – Well done, Woody!”
I first thought that Woody was slapping himself on the back. No it was Kirsty. In any case, both Woody and Martin are worthy of high praise, as is everyone else that works on both sites. I appreciate your honesty and openness.

Just to add to the positivity expressed by others. This site is an increasing anachronism in our polarised world with ever more “information/fact” being pumped out but perhaps less and less “thinking” applied to it.
By far the strongest moderator on here is not an individual but the ethos that Woody brings. In the time I have benefited from this site, many have attempted to “go the wrong way” on here and most of it has been damped down by the sheer reasonableness/mature attitude of the site leaders, guided by the “atmosphere” created by Woody.
Many thanks to all of you who put so much time in to produce a combination of technical fact and balanced approach that is becoming rare today.
It is because of Martin @ Ghacks that I became of AskWoody
