Life is a bit boring these days. But then I'm not in Canada yet.:sad_smile:

Or perhaps I have just missed all the really meaty discussions without realising it.

Anyone else feel the same?

Yes

Though I do my best. Lord knows I try, he he he

Good grief - don't complain or someone will start another plane on a treadmill thread that goes on for 150 pages!!!

I guess it doesn't matter if the answer is in the Wiki - a person can always just answer on the board if they feel like it, but I suppose in that case they should say that there is an answer in the Wiki - but they are going to answer anyway - or some smart a** will come up with the advice that the person should look in the Wiki.

And how is that for a boring answer???

I've seen more boring answers. You held back on the use of emoticons, which is boring. There were no typos, spelling, or grammar errors to mock, that's boring too. So pretty dull really. Actually maybe the punctuation could be spruced up a little;) and aren't there three *s in a***? ;)

On the other hand, when the number of frequently asked questions diminishes, what's left? Since I personally have created something like 180 Wiki articles (I've actually lost count), I feel responsible for the demise of the forum.

I think you take too much credit, Judy :D

Its because there are too many sedentary old folk here with a passion for digitising the superior attitudes nobody will take seriously IRL because of their wrinkly faces and feeble arms.

Hey, who're you calling old? You wanna take it outside, eh, eh?

Oh, sod it, on second thoughts, perhaps I'm too sedentary and my arms are too feeble to bother....:p
