I get interesting and informative answers from most other people on this forum, but you jump in every time and spoil it for me. Not sure why?[I'm "nice" too by the way].

When I try and be specific, you shoot me down, so I try again with a simple question and once again you do the same. There's just no pleasing you is there.

Maybe I'd be better off finding myself another forum.

For what it's worth shoequeen, it's easy to take things said here personally even when they are not meant that way....just remember we're all just pixels;)

You have 86 posts in however many threads and Ive replied to two that seemed hard for me to help with as they lacked context.

If you want to go, go, if you want to stay, stay, but there is always the ignore function... Frankly I wish more people would use it. It would make my life easier.

Why didn't someone say I could ignore a mod :p or can you :sneaky:

LOL...you know what I meant:)

At least I think you can ignore viewing my posts in the forum...But if I have some instructions with my "mod" hat on I'll generally be coming knocking on the door by private message anyway...

You poor poppet.

I'm anticipating a 50% cut in income this year, along with protracted arguments with the tax bods about instalments for 2009, which will be based on my 2008 income. What little hair I have left will, I fear, become much greyer than it already is.

We are all guilty of upsetting someone else for one reason or another....it's how we deal with it after that makes the difference;)

All it is, is a simple question, nothing to get heated about folks! A simple yes or no would suffice.

But if the question has no context it becomes meaningless just as your does.

Oakvillian put it very well.

Give us some context and perhaps we can give an answer that has some relevance.

I'll let you in on a secret, the only way you could have ignored one of us is if you had one of us on your ignore list before you got your mod hat.

But sorry, too late now ;) You have to see and read all our drivel.

They don't do well with the idea that, just because one has a huge tax bill, it doesn't follow that one has the income to pay that bill. They're really not very nice to deal with.
