| 291994 | 2004-11-18 05:03:00 | Agree But why do so many simple threads turn into long ranting, rambling posts & private conversataions that have nothing to do with the thread topic. Time & time again threads seem to get hijacked & wander off on another tangent. This place is turning into a home for the disaffected & bewildered |

Perhaps that would be a good time to start another thread, just to continue the conversation elsewhere? |

| 291996 | 2004-11-18 07:32:00 | I read all the posts ... (well nearly all ;-) ) It has proven one thing to me ... plus other things First one is Why fix what aint broke ? By changing a system - you think this will change the people it serves? I enjoy this place .. never a dull moment indeed. :-) Leave it alone I say This posting is testament to all the right reasons to NOT fix what aint broke. |

| 291998 | 2004-11-18 08:56:00 | Yup.. the same stupidity that gave us a labour government Look at the bigger picture, I hear "the grass is greener on ........" or "a change is as good as a rest " as a poor excuse for being responsable for oneself . This post by Mr Buckman proves beyond doubt that a new "format" will not make people any better or worse than what is. In the famous words of the woman that left me one morning whilst ..... "Why fix what aint broke" |

| 292001 | 2004-11-18 09:45:00 | Yes Beet, I did overdo that. My apologies everyone. I agree with Fairway. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I have visited many forums over the past 2 years. I do not recall one which is as easy to read and use as this one. Often the writing is several points smaller than here, with a blue background. I positively hate those Avatars and stupid stupid stupid signatures with some wise or smart saying attached. In fact on some forums lately, it is very difficult to sort out the quote, the new message, and the clever signature. I don't get hot often but I do feel strongly about this. Maybe we need to be able to edit our posts to withdraw heat-of-the-moment words. A button for contacting the Mods. Fine. Even a second place for OT discussions if its really necessary - which I doubt. Anyway, new software will not change behaviour. That is up to all of us. |
