Have Your Say (revisited)

As the BBC's Have your Say goes from one banal question to another, it leads me to wonder who actually reads the HYS board?

To summarise the HYS board;

1 - The BBC will ask a topical question.
2 - Someone holding a view from one end of the spectrum will totally agree with the point in hand.
3 - Someone with a view from the other end of the spectrum will totally disagree
4 - Someone will then post something completely missing the point
5 - Someone will try to post something humorous (with witty name to boot)
6 - Someone will blame the current / previous / future government for the issue at hand
7 - Someone will blame religion / democracy (or lack of it) / immigration on the point at hand
8 - Someone will quote someone else's post and criticise spelling / content

This assumes that the BBC will actually post your point of view and not "moderate" (censor) it

Some topics generate thousands of posts (Nick 'oik' Griffins appearance on Lions Den) whilst others will be swept aside (Lolita the Otters appearance in the new Winnie the Pooh books)

I see that even Private Eye is doing a parody of the message boards. Ian Hislop is a damn fine chap and has obviously frequented the Have your Say board for inspiration.

As I wait in the lounge with 'wi-fi' and 'elderberry' at hand typing this, Baxter has arrived in his latest Jag with his latest christmas cake filly under his arm. (A damn fine looker with legs to die for if I may say so.)

Anyway, must off, we have a wager on the 9th hole and this evenings tab will be riding on it!
