i think thats the whole point, of a forum, its how conversations progress.
it just gets used as a weopon by some on here, when they dont want to discuss, a point they have made, wander all you like on my thread, feel free to put your boots on and take a a figurative hike through the thread, you will not hear me complain

Re: Why Nelson?
There is no need to apologise for my apology, or the lack of understanding my apology. No offence was meant or taken at any point during any given or taken apology, so once again sorry

Don't think it is actually necessary for members to put up a link. Some are not good at googling and other members do enjoy doing it for them.
Sometimes, even after googling, local people may have some personal knowledge to add which can put Wikipedia's report into shade.
The thread would have probably come to a stop very quickly, without the thread wander and your moaning.
More posts there are is good for the Stats, and don't think your Roy would grumble about this.

Re: Why Nelson?
Ironically, Nelson, New Zealand was named nearly 30 years before Nelson, Lancashire.

True Kate -i enjoyed reading the thread though could add nothing except perhaps to comment that most place names have an interesting history. There will no doubt be lots of others in the area which could be discussed.
Less does like a good grumble from time to time...

I think he is just a plant, Mobertol, to stir up the masses to create more posts and increase the Stats.

A sort of insider/double agent -could be Kate, you may be right!
As to the word "plant" -I look forward to reading his reaction
