How would you know? How many lurkers are there who will never dare to actually post for fear of ridicule?

I sometimes never post things because of that!

Sometimes it's because I'm me, but being an Aussie is sometimes a strike against me too. No, not being paranoid, but being realistic at times.

Nonsense They post and then add that they didn't want to post because of ridicule but then carry on posting regardless I often think that the 'seasoned' posters complain about people being nasty to new posters more than new posters - I'm sure the majority don't see a problem.

With some of the opinions on here, I can quite understand your reticence at times. Personally, I think it is great to hear views from a different perspective!

Thanks, but I have also have been known, by just posting on a thread, to be a thread-killer!

Can I bring my fridge full of Cadbury's chocolate?

Why is it dark so often in Brisbane?

Hands up everyone on this particular thread who DIDN'T post one of these types of threads when they joined or did everyone just know everything when they arrived - how lucky are you? Yeh, I know I'm a killjoy, but I think it's a bit mean to take the mickey out of some real concerns of people who are/have been on here. It's particularly bad to laugh at people on here who are homesick. I'm sure there are a fair few who are just that and come on here for a cheer-up. Come on guys, we were all there once.

Runs for cover/braces for backlash!

I'll stick my hand up (slowly) and say I did loads of searching/reading these forums before posting anything.

I was scared of upsetting the mods, especially... Oh never mind.
