Hi All I have sat and thought about this for a long time before posting this thread and about what i am about to say as i have no wish to offend anyone. As i have the utmost respect for 99% of the people on here and their view's no matter if i agree or disagree with them. But of recent weeks there seems to be a percipitant number of threads where the topic originator either puts a contemptuous thread but dont come back and defend their words and just leaves it for the other members to add their view's in the hope of sparking a disagreement between them. Or re-opening old threads just to inflame members (for refererce... the thread about CB the other day) So from now on if i read a pointless thread i will not post on it nor will i read what others have posted on it. This just my humble oppinion and my little protest at pointless threads Rant over lol Steve

another one of those words open to interpretation 'POINTLESS' I agree with your principle BUT presumably the poster wouldn't have bothered to post at all if THEY felt it was pointless? Jess

Steve I totally agree with all you have said and I for one am trying to stay away from this general board as I know how upset CB was. But I feel I don't want to cut my nose off by resigning as I have found/given a lot of help on GR in the past so like you will only read and answer to the one's that are not pointless!!!
