| 91579 | 2002-10-23 20:00:00 | Promethius Once the question is answered, the post has served its purpose. We often ramble on off-topic, it is the friendly community aspect of Press F1 that keeps us coming. If we couldn't enjoy ourselves while we are here it would simply be be an unpaid job and a thankless one at that. I appreciate your point of view, but I suggest that once you have your answer you remove your watch on the topic and than you won't have emails bringing it up anymore. For many regular posters press F1 offers a break from the daily grind and a chance to help somebody with a problem. I work from home and drop in at tea breaks (or whenever the boss isn't watching) and I do enjoy a bit of friendly toing and froing. If you are new to F1 (a new name means nothing here, some posters use several) you will find that there are long running gags going between contributors and we build up fraternal relationships over time. Takes a bit of getting used to for newcomers. For all that, we dive onto new posts and aim to please with prompt and accurate answers. Have fun Cheers Billy 8-{) :D |

| 91580 | 2002-10-23 20:13:00 | I thought it was a feature that you can get to a new topic at the end of where an old topic has been thrashed to death and not even have to go back to forum home! Variety is the spice of life. Hows the weather up there? .Clueless :P |

| 91581 | 2002-10-24 00:36:00 | Yeah...I see what you mean. It is actually quite fun to chat with you guys/girls about pointless stuff.....and some not so pointless. I am just used to the falshpoint forum (www.flashpoint1985.com), where if you go off topic too much, the forum is locked. | promethius (1998) | ||

They wouldn't dare do that to us!! :O That would be like the pot calling the kettle black. :D Only abusive posts full of personal insults and certain other ravings get locked here. ;-) Mind you, there are unwritten rules for off-topic posts and we are only allowed to hijack threads after the solution has been successfully provided. Billy, did you have to put me off my afternoon tea?? :-( :D |
