Macca....
You might know me as "Dr. Chris". I've talked with you several times in the street in Blackheath. I live over the road from Lee and Amanda.
Next time I bump into you walking down the street in Katoomba, would you kindly show the balls to call me "idiot" to my face rather than being so incredibly brave on the internet.
Thanks,
Chris Coghill.

PS... I have to admit I often delete stuff I have written on Chockstone.
I feel that no matter what you write on chockstone, you seem to get involved in a name-calling argument that just gets nowhere, so I often just feel like deleting things I have written rather than even taking part.
Perhaps the chocky moderaters might take point of this...there must be loads of other people who don't post because they don't want to get personally abused by some of the regulars?

PPS... I am sorry, Phil, if I made your comment seem random. I deleted half my post not because I thought I had been "caught out as an Idiot", but because I thought my post was too wordy, and didn't add all that much extra to the argument. I hadn't actually read your post, I was just trimming my comment a little bit. For those interested, I simply commented that numerous other popular routes such as Nikita, Trix roughly, Rubber Lover, Loop the Loop, Onions, had previously also been carrot routes, and are still fantastic routes. I was trying to make the point that the routes are good routes because of the climbing and the route itself rather than the type of bolt used.
