Nah, not that many here. It's only a bonus! I get to wind up plenty RL.
It;'s a funny thing, though. Brits seem to fall into several distinct
categories that way.
Some just ask for it and they are extremely satisfying and unbelievably
easy to wind up.
Some ask for it and it sails over their heads.
Some are just too scary to wind up.
Some it just kind of fizzles out or i feel bad for doing it after.
But with some it never even crosses my mind to wind them up.

Hmm...I wonder which category you've put me into?

Well, either 4 or 5. Usenet is different because there's no physical first
impression. You'd have probably been 5 if i had met you in person. Hard to
know though..

So, you either feel sorry for me, or it'd never have crossed your mind to
wind me up?

I suspect if you *had* met me in person, it is unlikely to have been the
latter

Indeed. I find that the impression I get of people from the Internet is
almost certainly nothing like what they're like in real life...

Is this where we all start becoming 'facebook' friends just to see what we
look like?
