[Groop]He is too!

[Simon Passey]

After lurking for a long time after being a fairly active member of the 
Groop I must argue as I have known for a long time that I am the font of all 
knowledge !!!

Groo is a mass murderer but only from our perspective.

In his day frays were common and the norm, nowadays (except on Friday nights 
in the UK after closing time) deciding an argument with a good fray is 
frowned upon.

Discussing the merits of people who lived in a totally different era is 
impossible as there is no baseline for comparison.

An example is who is/was the best player/team in a sport.  With modern 
developments todays generation are fitter but a player from a bygone era 
with the talent would also have been fitter now and as such comparably 
better.

Cheers

Simon P
