spent the time to read from begining to end, even followed the links and read them.
houseboy asked a question, got flamed off "the usual suspects", surprised,that as a newbie he wasnt put off the site, everyone joined in with the levity, and the answer was found in the end. but usual suspects managed to flex their muscles and put newbie in his place. Also the amount of rules that were "broken", when you actually compare a post to the rules themselves
newbie baiting, of the highest order, and in "my opinion" houseboy well done for not taking the bait completely, and showing a little "decorum" for want of a better word.
if you actually, read it from beginning to end, if the usual suspects, would have just left alone, ignored the thread if they had no answers, within a few posts a new member, and for anything to survive it needs new members, would have had his answer, and thought "what a nice bunch of people", instead he is now possibly thinking "sites ok, but not very welcoming"
we are accrington web, lancashire folk, we are supposed to be friendly and welcoming, its what we are known for and proud of.
i havent seen it anywhere thats says "Welcome to Lanacashire, a place where everyone natters ( then in small print, but only if we dont think your moaning, and we wont get to know you first before we try to unleash our humour on you, and our first impressions of you will be used against you forever)
As for the trees i agree with AW, i much prefer the fells!, but thats not what you asked, but you already have your answer
thats my rant, its not the opener for a discussion, argument, a verbal challenge, i haven't named anyone other than Houseboy, i don't see the point of "answering" to this, although no doubting some will, i won't, this is the last post in this thread i shall make, and therefore accuse me of what you will.
