	Well if we look at the leaders of the SNP, one was a Salmond and now we have a Sturgeon, something fishy going on there. Excuse me folks my attempt at a joke, not funny I know.

	I'm sure you do Allan :-D

	I know a Rugby Song about a fish known as a Sturgeon :-0

	For the record, the thread was about dear NS stating she and only she could run the entire country and would form a coalition Government.

	As a slow typist, I'm pleased that my efforts haven't been whooshed along with the thread, :-D

	You'd hope but I wouldn't hold your breath.

	just seen your post Caroline. I highly doubt GR would leave tree on line if/when they fold the site. I moved mine offline elsewhere years ago. I think (hope!) they would give notice to enable members to export their work.

	Not that it matters but in the last few mins common sense has prevailed.

	Probably, at a cost :-\| :-D :-D :-D

	Allan, but. Personally I don't care if GR folds but while it is still in existence I shall stump up my low cost sub as it permits me to contact other members rather than leave then have to pay a lot more in the unlikely event a new tree interest should arise. When it's gone, it's gone. There are other avenues. I feel for those who seem to rely on chat for daily contact but again, there are other places to chat - for free. bottom line is - is all this angst worth it? GR don't care so why are we making a money spinner for them? Perhaps I should help them on their way?

	I wonder when they fold whether they'd at least leave the trees on line for reference.

	Unfortunately not, Rose, just a basic membership that allows me to post etc :-)

	Probably not Allan ;-) but saying that they might do if you have a full membership here for records and stuff ?

	Rose (welcome back, by the way) I am a subscriber to FMP. If GR suddenly closes before my subscription expires, will the outstanding amount be deducted from my FMP subs? :-D :-D I know the answer to that one ;-)
