hi crista- brilliant ! personally, i find it offensive when people repeat on the boards e mails they have been sent by other members. this should be dealt with off the boards.sue.

Would anyone like to join me sitting on the fence? Bring a cushion cos you are liable to get splinters in your bum! lol I think there are some valid points in this debate but I wouldn't like to say which ones just incase my opinion is the wrong one! Jeanette x

Keep repeating everything that has been said over and over again.... It's getting boring now.... you made your point ages ago... drop it and let peace reign on the boards!

I think the biggest mistake is to be too prolific with threads. One person can dominate all and push other, slower moving, question and answer threads, usually the result of careful thought by a number of people interacting, off into oblivion. Surely one or two threads a day per member is adequate. I wonder why the popular "General Topics" board is limited to 15 pages whereas the "Success Stories" is given 33.3% more ? Could it be GR self interest? len

Brian, no! Why, what do you think you're guilty of? :-) Sylvia, I think that's it for my creative spark this week. Not sure everyone is aware of the "Idiot's Guide" series of books. I get the impression people think I am calling them idiots. Oh well, being paranoid is another thing to add to the list I guess. Crista

You act like you're a member of the Waltons:- "Elizabeth: Good night, John Boy. John-Boy: Good night, Elizabeth. Good night, Daddy. John: Good night, Son. Good night, Mary Ellen. Mary Ellen: Good night, Daddy. Good night, Mama. Olivia: Good night, Mary Ellen. Good night, Jim Bob. Jim Bob: Good night, Mama. Good night, Erin. Erin: Good night, Jim Bob. Good night, Ben. Ben: Good night, Erin. Good night, everybody."

Feign sympathy and concern in the hope that someone will share their opinions privately and then use that information to stir up more trouble publicly! (He said, she said, they said!) Moaning about people who don't use board 'etiquette' and disregarding it yourself. Threads that point out spats going on on other threads! Threads that comment on the threads that point out spats on other threads! Discussion thread about the thread that comments on the threads that point out spats on other threads!
