Perhaps part of this forum should be renamed "CLOWN ACADEMY".

I watched this forum from the first day it opened. I had little experience of forums but I was amazed with how much importance so many members gave to the number of posts they had made (even asking for their posts on .com to be added to this one). Poor sad souls.

Now so many of the regulars seem to think that their rating in the "Reputation System" is of utmost importance and even go begging for points. Compare the list of top posters and the ones discussing "Reputations", there are differences, of course, but many of the names appear in both. Perhaps they have unfulfilled lives. Remember these are the people who have enhanced powers of creating reputations!
Another reason for not posting in the "serious discussion" threads are that you are likely to be insulted by a small group if you dare to post anything which suggests that NTL are not part of the devil's army or ever do anything classifiable as O.K.

I do not post because I come onto the forum, I select "New Posts", read down the list and, usually with a deep sigh,think "Nothing worth bothering about there" and go off. Sorry if this is offensive to some but it is just the way I have come to feel about the forum. Others must have the same or similar feelings or there would be many more and varied posts. Ah well, back to silence.
