Dee has asked me to add this for her. please read this and add what you wish to say afterwards.

so here goes

Leaving

To end speculation I have asked for this to be added.

Well what can I say??

First of all I would like to say thank you to everyone who has contacted me, and in case people are wondering, I wasn’t pushed - I jumped

Secondly, this is not the first time I have left. Sometime ago I left GR because of the negativity on the boards. I was then persuaded to come back

When I came back I was able to do a search and find the book review threads and other threads that I had added to before I left, they showed up with my old board name, which was fine, I had no problem with that.

Since the new system has been introduced I have been trying to track down some of those old threads. Things I added pre 2006. It seems that now that the new system has been introduced it is still possible to search for (to use an example) Greaders, but now all of my old reviews are shown as having been added by other members or ex members.

I found it particularly upsetting that a thread I had done on the life of the family I was researching no longer shows on here as mine. The thread itself was based on an essay I had done for my University course, so it is disheartening to see that someone else is now shown as its author.

So basically, while I have no problem with things I have posted being credited to me, I do take exception to finding that they have been credited to someone else.

People will no doubt think I am overreacting by leaving, that may well be the case, but I am sufficiently aggrieved by what has happened to have come to the decision that I wish to have nothing further to do with the site.

I have met some brilliant people on here and made some good friends and I would like to send my best wishes to you all.

Dee

Dee will be missed on here..I hope she is going to come back..Perhaps she just needs a break and then she'll come back refreshed.
Take care Dee xxxxxx

Well, it goes without saying that Dee will be missed badly. I was always too slow for the Quizzes and if I did get a correct answer, I would have the genders all mixed up!. Apart from the great threads/quizzes, Dee has beautiful manners and would never neglect anyone on any of her threads, or make fun of them, except in the gentlest of ways.

I shall miss her a lot, and I DEMAND her return.. lol..BC XX

Dee see you have made so many people so happy with your threads, I think it's only right that you come back and continue your good work. Apart from that i miss me old mate No1. So this Alpha says get yourself back on here A.S.A.P

OK lets see if we can get over 150 replys and get Dee to come back on GR

Hi Dee...being temporarily (I hope) housebound at the moment I am in need of some mental stimulation. I can only watch David Attenborough so many times lol.

Hope to 'see' you on here again soon love although I know how busy your life is.

Jean x.

I will miss her on here, her threads were always funny or interesting or both.

xx Jen

Oh piffle, I return from holiday and find the lovely Dee missing. I often missed her quizzes, especially the beginning (she gets up too early for me:) but I often jumped in at the end. If you saw her name on a thread you knew it would be interesting and I like her very much.

Come back soon Dee.

Chrissie xx

Unfortunately for her, Dee was one of those who frequently tried to start threads which required a bit of thought to answer and more often than not vanished without trace. It's not surprising she's lost heart.

DEE

JUST WANT TO KNOW ARE YOU OKAY

Well I'm sure Dee will be pleased to know that her threads and quizz's were a good scource of entertainment for some of us

Twizzle

I hope that Dee does return - I was getting quite good at "googling" - slow, but good.

Please come back Dee - your quizes are the only mental stimulation I get!! )))
