Ted, whats wrong with you? I only asked about your book, and you won't tell. So please stop your trolling/flaming and give us the publisher, the title, where to get a copy and all that stuff. It's brilliant when an HU member writes a book. Look at Sam Manicom, Lois Price, Simon Gandolphi, and Paul Pratt. People are not "stalking " you if they read your book and your posts.

Can't you stop kidding around for a moment? Will you give us some info? I would be pleased to hear it, because publishing is not so easy, and you have done brilliantly well to get to the publishing/distribution stage; many don't even get that far.

I thoroughly congratulate you on your book. I will buy a copy.

PS I've PMd you with some serious advice.

Funny how the "trolling" new member suddenly dissapeared once they were discredited and maybe "uncovered"

Jesus christ, has this forum really come to this !!! I'll happily deactivate my membership and hang my head in shame if i've let myself become part of the problem.......

I took you seriously Ted, simply because that's what you said. I didnt realise that you were "taking the piss". Never mind; I was pleased as I said, that this book was happening for you, and I believed your word was true. Read my post.

You're right about the alias post, as I privately said to you, when the identity of this person came up. I previously noted that he'd removed it. Subsequent posts from him made it certain, and IP info would clinch it. He or his relative removed his transatlantic post pretty sharpish, but was caught in a trap because others had quoted it. He was ready with protests and excuses in another thread before he was even asked, and revealed himself in other ways.

Have a good journey in Africa....

Troll = shroom21?
Just to clarify: The offending post was removed by a Mod (in this case not me). The IP details of the post were

"
The IP Address is: 86.182.157.245. The host name is: host86-182-157-245.range86-182.btcentralplus.com.

HTH. Am off riding.

That would be me, after a complaint from a party outside of the discussion. I did a check, at the time, of IP addresses and there was no other user to have posted from that IP address before.

And thank you to the other user who removed their own post.

Cheers all

Nigel in NZ

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Susan and Grant Johnson Read more about Grant & Susan's story

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
