Well, I was just curious because I've been frequenting this board since around '04/'05 and haven't noticed you until fairly recently. It just seems like you try to steer almost every thread toward your personal preference or your idea of what the discussion should consist of. Your posts are worded somewhat authoritatively and can come across as dismissive (or worse) pushy, so I just wondered if you held some sort of official position here I wasn't aware of. That's all.

Nah, I'm just British and optimistic so the authorative and pushy vibes you are picking up are a mixture of my cultural upbringing and giddy quixotism.

If I do try to steer it's hopefully towards keeping people being creative and reminding people of the subject heading of whatever thread I've wandered into but thankfully there isn't one steering wheel and as you point out I've only contributed about 680ish posts so I'm hardly a senior partner here.

Hopefully in my brief time on this site I've helped a few people get some ideas or fine tinker the ones they already have. I certainly hope I've never been dismissive (if I have I'd feel justifiably ashamed of myself if it was pointed out to me in black and white, or rather white and grey).
