I got that, I thought the wink would have conveyed I was engaging in a slight leg pull. Sometimes communicating in forums doesn't conveythe message you're trying to get across.

I don't quite understand how McCann had a go at forum posters when the enquiry is supposed to be about Media, and in particular newspaper, standards. I think forums only convey what we chattering classes would be saying in the cafes, bars and street corners in our offline lives.

While I disagree with a lot of posts in many threads I have read little that approaches the morally substandard and often libellous pages in the tabloid newspapers. Often posters on forums are responding to newspaper articles as if they were fact. Apart from the day and date on the front page I would question most things that appear in tabloids.
