Default Good bye and you lot take care

Well after reading a couple of posts by some new and not so new members Im off to play in my own happy world


The whole point of the forums in my opinion is to help others anyway they can. Be it positive or negative views of New Zealand, hopefully a little of each. After all no where is perfect and everywhere has its problems.

But surely just to moan and winge and generally wind other people up with crappy comments is wrong.

I am sure I am going to get roasted and accused of having my head buried in the sand and that I am a Happy Crowd Member guess what, I am.

For 4 years now I have posted and read lots of threads by many nice people on here.

Good luck to you all and take care. Dont think that New Zealand will be 100% perfect, it wont. But then dont just listen to the few that think its 100% rubbish, its not.

If anyone wants to keep in touch then you know where to find me Happy Land

I just want to point out that I will actually miss JTL's input, and that (for once) I was not being sarcastic.

Be a shame to lose you Jack and I hope you'll reconsider but I understand what you are saying and where you are coming from.

Once upon a time, long long ago, the NZ forum was a very different place to the one we see today, and spats like we saw yesterday were very much common place and, at times, the forum was not a particularly friendly place to be for some...HOWEVER, the mood and the membership of the forum have changed dramatically over the last 18 months, very much for the better I think personally, and I for one do not want to see a return to the old days and ways and I hope that you all agree with me!!..That's not to say that freedom of speech and personal opinions shouldn't be aired but common courtesy and just general niceness would be my preferred order of the day...what say you?...

I agree.

I was wondering, just the other day, whatever happened to KiwiJetPilot for instance?

Do you know Carmen...I deleted the phrase "mentioning no names (KJP)" from my post!!!...but bless him, it wasn't all down to him...

But you see where I'm coming from?...the 'style' of some of the recent posts just took me straight back to those days and it really wasn't a nice experience and certainly one not to be repeated!!...All in favour??
