well said, the forum is run by two brilliant administrators,Raoul & Dave who have the final say.

I quite like the playful banter but as it goes on, it does seem to only be amongst a minority of the members because as you are not in the gang you feel you should not reply for fear of being ignored or ridiculed.
Don't get me wrong,the advice is usually very good and fun to read but its just that sometimes it goes completely off topic
So I say keep the playful banter because if that goes some of the spirit of the forum will be lost but make sure that it doesn't seem too much like a private club.
