Plenty of smilies is a good idea then people shouldn't misunderstand you and have a go! Of course its easy enough to go the long winded route so you explain everything is so much bleedin' detail that its impossible for anyone to misunderstand you.....but I guarantee someone will!!

I often find on forums that if I make a joke the person I'm replying to often thinks the joke is aimed at them, so its always a good idea to try and word things carefully e.g., sir hehehehe!

(see)

By the way (switches to 'on topic' mode) I should be taking my mate to his flying lesson this weekend, and hoping its not windy, so I get to play on a real runway, well, not the runway but the taxi ways, well, not the taxi ways exactly but the outfield access roads which are very flat and very smooth!

Shall report back if 140 is seen. If I run alongside him as he takes off it'll confirm it cos I reckon his plane does 140 max!

(Enough smilies for you ????)

It can be a bit when you see them all over again, but i prefer to be a bit more to answer because i join the thread anyhow, but its nice to see the new folks ideas and opinions aswell as digging up the oldies to repost for the 50th time lol,

I predict we get a POINTY VS CURVY within a month,

Late to the party with the serious answer... Here's how it'd be in the real world:

9am in the office. Someone says "What about that (insert news item here)". Office discussed news item for half an hour. You arrive at 10.30, just after they've finished, and say "What about that news item then?". Does everyone have the exact same conversation again? Nope, chances are you get a couple of bored answers and then it drifts on. You don't get your conversation, everyone else gets bored or annoyed...

On a forum, you can search and if that conversation happened recently, instead of trying to start over from scratch you can carry on from where it left off, without endless repetition. If you want a chat about top speed, searching for "top speed" then posting your part on the end of the last thread just works better for everyone. Nobody's saying "Don't talk about it"

Well, OK, probably Rictus is
