Does anyone remember a poster named "The Assessor?". Terrific chap, who had another name before that. Pretty sure it was 3 words but for the life of me I can't recall it. He'll be in his mis to late 60's now. Had some good chats with him.
Report SqueezeFirmly September 12, 2013 12:34 AM BST
It was just 'Assessor'

I used to have his email address but lost it when my last PC blew up a few years ago. I think he was also known as 'pp king' who always used to post 'a pleasing thread' before his name.

I know where he worked, but as he didn't want anybody else to know (apart from others on his email list I assume) so I kept it that way.
Report kenny mann September 12, 2013 1:31 PM BST
Thanks Squeeze, and I think you've answered this before. Yes it was "Assessor" as you say, on reflection but I'd be surprised if it was "pp king", (janov's mate) who although amusing wasn't the sort of chap you would have a sensible conversation with, apologies if that's wrong. Almost sure Assessor had a 3 word name before he changed it. He was getting on as he was older than me, marginally. We had "Sir Edward Appleton" in common. I was in his "house" at school and my Aunt knew his sister. Assessor attended one of his lectures in the 60s.

Wound a lot of people up on the horse racing forum for many years, but haven't seen any postings from him for a long time now, unless he's posting under a different name of course. Looks like he finally got fed up of all the abuse on here and left!
