Yes but it's nice to be nice
Would you walk up to someone in the street that you didn't know and start giving them your political views or would you say, hello my name is so and so and then have a conversation.
Not having a go at you JCB, I have no idea who you are and don't care (mean that in a nice way)
When I joined here I was originally looking for anyone that knew my dad. I explained a bit about myself and said hello.
Anyway welcome to Accyweb, have fun
