The aside from Willow dubbing me 'Grumpy' is also a bit rich.
Hopefully I am on this forum to stay and may get used to the 'Sarky' and 'Funny' comments by our fellow members but I think that I too am entitled to an opinion without being shouted down.

Right, let me explain my post, though as always jokes that need a long winded explanation are invariably not funny.
Button's Mum said that Accy Web goes in phases, in reply to one member's question as to why he thought the forum was quiet. I agree with this point. Sometimes the forum is quieter for whatever reasons, be it holidays, or that there might not be any threads that inspire people to post. I've been a member for two and a half years, and this is what I've found to be true.
It was a strange thing to ask, particularly yesterday I thought, as there was an interesting thread about passports, which saw the return of AccyMel and Slinky, after not posting much for a while, even our M.P. Greg Pope popped on to post in the thread.
My jibe about people posting being connected to the lunar calendar was a joke. Although it's been proved that the moon's cycle can affect mood, I don't really accept the idea that it changes people into mouth foaming lunatics.
I cheekily used that post to welcome back Slinky. If anyone deserved to be offended, that I was by association calling her a lunatic, it was her. As someone who has a sense of humour, I know she wouldn't be hurt by the joke.
For some people to be so paranoid that they think every post is aimed at them, is quite sad and delusional. For one thing the person who has taken offence has been posting recently, therefore my lunatic comment wasn't aimed at them, but the missing members.
I guess I'm just well asnd truly blessed, unlike others, that God gave me a sense of humour.
Praise be...as Thora Hird would have said.
