Everyone has reason to gripe for one reason or another at one person (or organisation) or another. We come home after a day of not being able to complain about all the things that wind us up, then come to this BBS (or any other) and realise that all the same rules still apply here! Annoying or what?
I ain't been round here for a while but reading back over a few notorious recent threads, especially those in the private forums I still get the impresion that some folk are getting a bit too involved in BBS politics and forgetting the real reason we are all members here.
Moderation stinks, but then again so does any form of social control. Think about it: Last year I paid a total of @ £23,400 in income tax, not counting NICO or local tax and I can come here and enjoy a far greater amount of freedom than in the "real" world for only 20 quid! Bargain or what?
And since I have undoubtedly saved thousands as a result of the advice from this BBS, including the time my local dealer was trying to charge me > £3,000 for a head gasket change I didn't need, its even more of a bargain!
Just a brief realisation after a few :duffer: but with all the recent hiatus I've been reading, thought I'd put my few quids worth in.
