I notice that I have had 8,811 profile views, but I've had 8,811 views for several months now without it going up at all. Do you suppose the counter is stuck, or maybe it only goes up to 8,811, or am I just not challenging any more? Seems like a fairly random number to stop at.

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Nov 3 2015, 11:29 PM) If any one is like me, I often accidentally click the link for people rather than the latest post link. Yes, often happens to me, particularly if I'm on the move and using fingers rather than a mouse!

Quite the celeb you are Simon. I imagine it's Special Branch keeping tags on Vexatious agitators.

I was reliably informed that NTC were printing off my critical comments about them and keeping them in my file. I wonder if they are still doing that?

To what purpose? Everything on here is open to the public so it is pointless especially keeping it. I have no doubt that all records on here are kept for a certain time. To be honest once you print something for public consumption anybody anywhere can keep it for their own ends. On top of that there is a search engine on here so that you can find previous posts. Andy Capp uses that system all the time (to check on members) so I wouldn't worry about the NTC printing off your comments. I think it is called paranoia.

The inference is that the Newbury Parish Council have/had a vendetta. NPC don't have control over this forum so it is much more convenient to save snippets that support the campaign and to use as evidence if ever necessary. It helps the councillors to pass on their vengeance to the new set of sheep that fill the council chambers every so many years. PS: I wouldn't feel the need to go back and seek out what people said if people didn't change their tune to suit their agenda or argument.

If it were me Simon, I would use all the law allows to uncover what is retained about me. How were you told?, email/letter/phone?
