Well I have told certain posters across the pond to desist, but will they listen![]()
You can't tell someone to stop arguing back and then ag it on. It's a two way street Rich
But everybody else is going the wrong way down the one way street![]()
Well Gates is American and I've had horrendous problems with my pc thanks to XP sooooooooo![]()
Yes but it isn't KenHigg's fault![]()
I've no wish to fall out with anyone but without mentioning names, what I find sad about this whole situation is that the usual perpetrators are, to a man, intelligent, personable and very likeable people who go out of their way to help with queries on the forum and with whom anyone here would spend a very enjoyable evening over a drink or two.
The fact that some share a somewhat warped and mischievous sense of humour that masks tongue-in-cheek posts with polemic simply to get a rise from others has either been missed or progressively lost over the months.
It's almost become a way of life here and as I stated before, it's worn rather thin and now has a detrimental effect on other posters - sorry but that's a fact and it should give no-one here any satisfaction.
When I first joined the forum I was very reluctant to post in the 'cooler as it seemed a bit like a club with everyone "knowing" in the virtual sense, everyone else but I eventually jumped in and it soon felt good to be part of a world wide group of friends from diverse backgrounds who could share/debate their views on anything and everything. It doesn't often feel like that now and that diminishes us all.
My user name is dan-cat and I'm an intelligent, personable and very likeable perpetrator.![]()
Perhaps all we need is make use of the smilies more often.![]()
Since you haven't mentioned names - I have to guess - Col and Statsman?
Hayley has moved on I believe and Tess doesn't visit very often since her new job
Still, there are one or two here that blame others for their departure![]()
Is Hayley or Tess or Tay not around much?
I'm here! Nice to see you back here, Ally.
We're now living in Newcastle (wasn't Fizzion a Geordie?) and are students at Newcastle uni doing GIS degrees. Next semester, we'll be taught how to create a relational database... I may be posting more on here, needing to know what tables are...![]()
After a month of waiting, we finally got an internet connection, so should hopefully drop in here more.
