The thing is when you start a thread you will always be opening yourself up to criticism and that, I suppose, is part of the game. However if no threads are started the Forum dies.
You have been a particularly vocal critic of my posts, and no doubt we will get a novel size reply to this post, but new threads are essential and criticising members for posting is the last thing that should be done and you as a member for 3years and five months should know that Glos Guy. Talking about leaving oneself open to criticism when starting a thread I see you don’t want to do that as you have started only 8 threads in 3 and a half years by any standards that is pathetic.
