These are not mistakes.
All a bit nit-picking don't you think Greg?
Those kings are spelt as they should be

The task of producing a guide to somewhere like the Bowderstone that everyone is happy with is impossible, as it was to the Minus Ten wall at Stoney. All you can do is make your best effort.
I agree, its impossible to keep everyone happy, but its a task made easier by asking those people who might have a reason to be unhappy for their input.
of course we wouldn't ask people who have are unhappy about giving input
Do you mind me asking if you are helping Greg with his guide?Alan
No, I honestly wasn't nit-picking, I still don't know exactly what he wanted to say. I think there was something missing from the end of the sentence and I don't quite get the point of it as it stands.Nothing sinister, ignore if it is not important.
Actually, Alan, after looking at all the mistakes in the RF Lakes Bouldering database and re-reading your pissy, hair-splitting comments, and those of your buddy Mick, I think I'll save my money and spend it on a proper job.
Thanks Neil for your reply.At least we have now established that the two main critics on this thread - yourself and Greg; and the two on the Rockfax database - you and Adam, are all working for the rival guidebook company Ground Up. Alan
