I have been an avid reader of this Forum for the past two years and have finally taken the plunge to register as a...blah blah blah....

Stop waffling and say something....

So i guess that would be a firm ''NO'' from Fluster then!

Guys Guys. Lets huG !

Please don't take it seriously, it was meant tongue in cheek

Dermot's response can be attributed to someone who believes they have been dealt an unplayable hand, the glass is always half empty, etc etc etc.

well guy's , i start reading this topic, after the first 2 pages i still do not have a clue what's it all about, it look's like a book with a never ending story, and when it's finally finished you still do not know what's it all about.......
me as newbie i was thinking forums are made to help each other out...., look's like here it is the opportunity to sh*t on each other heads , you guy's most be all bored to dead, don't you all have something else to do than this nonsense???????
not meaning to offend anybody but bring you all back to common sense ....., please close this thread.......,thanks..

Gotta agree a lot of truth in that, and sure many of us wouldn't mind seeing these "meta-threads" seriously cut back if not curtailed for the most part. "Meta-threads" meaning "threads about the Forum itself", which seem to me better placed in Forum Help, Support & Announcements, not Udon Thani...

There are so many potentially interesting topics living here, that discussing if "newbies" are welcome or not seems a bit, well, unnecessary, to put it politely.

And real newbies coming here must think, well, see post above, and probably move on. We lose.

Can someone define a 'newbie'?

My father told me that during the second world war he was moved to new digs in a village near Oxford (UK). He went to the local tobacconist for a packet of cigaretts, only to be told that they we kept 'for regulars only'. He went into the same shop every day for two years with the same result. He never did find out how long before he was a 'regular'.
