Fear not. I'm very familiar with Bertie.

We actually used to get on OK until he found out I'd been getting members
of  "the meow" TOSsed by their ISPs or news providers because they'd been
disrupting other groups where I posted. They are trolling friends of his,
or more accurately WERE since they subsequently seem to have died a death
thankfully.

Bertie's reactions to me subsequently are merely spiteful bile.
