Perhaps Rick and Wink have missed the not-so-funny joke. Felix IS Roy
Stockdill, deny it as he may, and his comment above was meant to be a
riposte to Eve's valid comment that turning up under an alias to boost
oneself is 'sad'.

But I concur with both their comments about Eve. Not Roy/Felix's which
were meant to provoke.
