Some good news… we can down-grade the moron-storm-weather-alert back to the normal level… (be alert, not alarmed).

I was surprised there’d be a 41 year old climber, living in Vic, who I’d never heard of, but also wondered why anyone would bother setting up an email address etc (not the first time mind you). So anyway I emailed the address… and lo and behold it turns out there actually is another “Simon Carter” who climbs, and actually takes photos (but not climbing ones) although he lives in the UK (Vic was the profile default).

Funny really. Now you can all be alert AND alarmed that all us Simon Carters are multiplying and will soon be taking over the world……………….

To avoid confusion Simon, er, the other Simon, said he’d probably use the “ravenstor” alias. Here’s one of his emails (posted w permission).

Welcome to Chockstone Simon, plenty of room in cyberspace – and everywhere else - for the both of us!

He, he, he.
