I don't think I'd treat anyone differently because they were a moderator, or someone who'd been on here for ages, or if they were a newbie. It makes no difference.

I didn't know a soul when I went to my first meet, and was welcomed with open arms, and a couple of pints later felt as if I was amongst old friends, Mez and Lindsay being amongst those people that night.

If people haven't been to a meet I often wonder if they think we sit around having heated debates, and carrying on with arguments from the threads. The answer is no. It's all purely social, and a great deal of fun is had by all.

I'm sorry Mez appears to be cheesed off. I know she's put enormous effort into making the meets fun for everyone who's ever attended, and is very often the first one to introduce new members to the rest of the gang, hence the nickname Mother Hen. Your efforts at the meets were much appreciated, as well as the countless other nice things you've done for members away from the limelight.

I can only speak for myself, but thank you.

I sincerely hope you return soon, if that's what you want.
