Fact of the matter is, this particular forum, is a place where fans of NO can talk whatever bollox they like.
Yes I find 100,000 tesco threads a tad irksome sometimes, and I could do without the you've got mail brigade (once in a while is OK, just not on alternate posts...and I say that in the full knowledge that the worst offender's someone I happily call my friend, and for whom I have a lot of time.....come to think of it, likewise DigiMike, a top bloke, just tesco obsessed).
And although I've had the odd rant about such things in the past, they're usually in response to some suggestion of some other class of posting being somehow "wrong". I've curtailed my activities here somewhat in recent times, partly because I seemed to be getting on many people's tits, and partly because, that mere fact takes the fun out of posting for sheer humour value as I am often minded to do. It also beats out the desire to go that extra inch or two for the folks round here.
However, the over-riding feeling, is that I'm rather saddened by the swiftness with which we jump at one another's throats round here (myself included), there seem to be those who thrive on the bad atmosphere that pervades the place during open net-combat....as BA pointed out, this thread's had more views than Jordan's tits. We're ALL (me, those I call friend, and those I call mate....there's a difference, but I call no one here an enemy) too swift to draw battle lines (truth be told, I'm one of the very worst in that respect), to make a stand on something, and worse, to see divisions where none need exist.
It's not right folks, and we all need to grow a pube or two.
And on this very thread we find just about EVERY sod who needs to get their heads round that (again, myself included)...we're all meant to be on the same team here....WTF happened to NOOLers against the world eh? ;)
And a final thought on the subject of bollox and pointless threads....people.....let it bother you, but don;t let it bother you too much as long as it's only BCD.
(besides, if only sense and matters of gravity and import were hereposted.....the place would look like the signup sheet for Michael jackson's new daycare centre)
