Sarky B'Stard! But I like it!

A predictable response I suppose. I wonder if my considered opinion would have been accepted without such a response had it come from a member with many thousands of posts to their credit.

More a valid response than a predictable one, I would have thought. A forum can have many members, but that won't make much difference if only a small percentage actually post anything. I have over a thousand posts to my credit, but my contribution hasn't been as prolific for some time now, so the comment could also apply to me.

I thought it was a valid response Michael, but suppose yeh can't suit everybody.

Good evening everybody. Been a bit wet outside so I did the sensible thing and stayed in doors.
I think after the next G&T I will go to bed, listen to the radio and have another G&T.

So it's good night from me and good night from me again.

Good night Russell...that sounds like a sterling Saturday evening to me.

Well Jim P it looks like you might have shaken things up a bit. Not sure if it’s because of your thread or just a coincidence (we’ll assume the former) but there’s been more postings on more threads lately than for a while now.

I joined Accyweb initially to tap into the minds of members re some things I was trying to find out about his nibs’ family history. I was very pleasantly surprised and extremely grateful at the quick responses I got and the important information I received.

I found I was enjoying the forum so much that I stayed. To me it’s a bit like a family with members agreeing and disagreeing as the case may be. All entitled to their opinions. I enjoy my daily dose especially the heated debates that occur from time-to-time. Should be more of them – bring ‘em on! (By the way, where’s Less these days?).

…and Margaret, I don’t belong to Facebook or the other forums mentioned either – not interested. Accrington Web does for me.

By the way, one thing I found out was that my husband’s grandfather married Jim P’s grandmother (yes, the same Jim P that started this thread!) when they were both widowed and as well as information about them Jim let me have a copy of their wedding picture. We’d no idea about any of this before. Think that sort of makes us related, Jim, even though only remotely and through marriage.

Give over Fella! You don't need thousands of posts to be considered "acceptable" just a steady contribution wouldn't go amiss. Lets face it joining Dec 2009 & 20 posts? I too joined Dec 2009 (31 st) to be precise & 7588 posts including this one.

Get involved & the pish taking won't stop, but it'll be more good natured.

I must admit although I do the 6 letter thing I stopped posting some time ago. I'm not sure why, after my wife died I think but I always check it out every day.Enjoy Margaret's and others blogs.
Yes, we should all make an effort to get Accyweb back to where it was.

Well you do need to try and make up for the Aircraft chap who loved to take the P*** but couldn't stand it when the tables were turned when the scousers went into decline.

I agree son.
One post or twenty thousand posts...it is actually posting that makes the difference.
An opinion, regardless of whose it is, stimulates interest and responses.
Yes, I think if this member had looked back over other threads, he would see that on some threads there is passionate disagreement, but also a kind of banter that happens inside a family.
Accyweb feels like a family.

I hope this has not put him off posting more...if it has,then perhaps his sensitive nature would lend itself better to Hyndburn Chat.
