Thank You.

Hey Doug, we all know that you're not the Doug refered to in the a-b post, no need to worry on that score, that Doug does wander and wonder, but I must say that, that Doug must have good ears and eyesight (from previous articles in our local paper..........the O) that Doug commented on things that he could not hear or see, now I am

I've only posted on Accy web a few times but I found the people on here very friendly,(I'm not a creep!) and if I did'nt I'd not come back! Some web sites are very clanish and unless they know you they won't reply to your posts,I've a habit of going off topic sometimes but if you go to a pub and have a chat that happens there as well,I know one or two things about that! Just to add that some people get upset if you don't agree on something,I'm not botherd if you don't share my views on things it's boring if we all enjoy and agree on everything.So in my case I tend to post away and if you read it thats even better!

I wouldn't use the word "mafia" but with any message board there is bound to be an inner core of founder members who by very virtue of having known each other longer know each other better. It also seems in the case of this board that most of the founder members are either friends and relatives of the board creator, or friends of those friends and relatives and naturally they will appear to relate more closely to each other.

I wouldn't say that I have noticed any criticism being resented, apart from one occasion when I objected to what I felt had been heavy handedness by a moderator and I lost karma points for saying as much.

At the end of the day THOTH you have chosen to join someone's message board and like it or not the onus is on you to adapt to the ways of the board rather than expect the board to adapt to you. (similar to opinions expressed elsewhere regarding immigrants to this country)

People aren't perfect but this is one of the better message boards I have come across and as such I enjoy returning to read and contribute. If a point I make goes unnoticed so be it. If a question I ask goes unanswered then I may well ask again or I may simply assume that there is no answer forthcoming and move on.

Well said Gobsmacked.

The thread title asked for answers and comments and they now seem to have stopped coming in.

From them all I would just like to comment on the above. I am rather surprised as to why the opinions and comments I made should start WW3.

Remember Voltaire`s dictum.

I don't think it was quite ww3.......I didn't see Tony Blair OR George Bush about the place it is good to get a varied response......and I think you can safely say that there has been a lot of interest in this thread.

I remember something about Voltaire and his dictum, the only problem is I've forgotten what the hell it was all about.
