Reading forum posts...

[Zogbert Splod]

Right then, I suspect that, like me, most people don't read every section of the forum. So, when I log on I check the sections that interest me. Now here's the problem - when I have checked all the posts I look up to find that something new has appeared where I have just been.
This has to stop! How am I supposed to get on with stuff if you lot keep posting at all times of the day?
I suggest that you post only during odd numbered hours (GMT) and I will do my part by only reading posts in the in between hours.
There now, wasn't that easy?

Wouldn't a day's worth of posts coming in at the same moment cause the server to explode? 

Would they all fit through the wires?

Of course they would, they are all n gauge

Well if it wasn't for pointless threads like this one, it would be much quicker and easier to keep up to date...

Take no notice Mr. Splod. Everyone deserves a bit of fun.

There are a few pointless threads on the forum and this collection of pointless and factual is what helps keep this forum from getting stuffy.  I realised after reading the first post that it was not to be taken seriously and even joined in myself.  So once you realise this is a bit of fun, it is very easy to ignore it if you are not interested.

cheers John.

A very balanced and mature response Mr moderator.
However you should be aware that not everyone wants to talk about points - interesting though they may be.

You're absolutely right Bob but if we had nothing but points our trains would not go round at all!
