That is the question




I have noticed that some people on here delete their threads/posts before they log out each evening. They call it ‘housekeeping’!
I have also read posts criticising people for putting up a thread posting on it for a while, then leaving to go out into the real world.
Which do you do?

Because it is me putting it up?

Carol, this is obviously in reference to your great mate Mel, and her deletions. I suppose we are going to be subject to this from now until September when youn go back to school. See her for what she is.

This thread is nothing to do with Mel or anyone else.


Can there not be a debate on these boards anymore?

Good morning all:-) I seldom delete a thread, in fact I thoroughly enjoy reading old threads when people on here used to have great fun together and there was a better sense of camaraderie. On the few occasions (these days) when I put up a thread, I make sure I am around to reply to the posters. Common courtesy I think. BCXX

Carole, why do you not have the courage of your convictions, and show your true colours. The only true thread I have seen on here is your Candle Thread, which is commendable, everything else is trite.

I do not care what 'undercurrents' if any, are behind a thread. If someone asks a civil question I shall try and give a civil response. I think it is sad that Flump and Kay are afraid to post in case there may be something going on elsewhere. BCXX
