Can I just warn any lurkers out there...........

night night soop. Sorry about your friend.

phoenix, just for the record, I did see the expression "trip trap". I can't remember which thread it was on or what the thread was about (if anything), nor who posted "trip trap". There were some responses to that, similar to the ones you've mentioned, but which I've also forgotten.

Racking my brains................

You couldn't just give me a clue what the insult was?

Sorry to hear that, soop. Nite-nite-for-now

Yes. I remember the Willco (or something) now. Couldn't remember the exact phrase last night. I knew they were troll-suggesting comments.

I don't think I posted another thread after that one. I went to bed.

Movedalot "There you go" – where do we go? What have "people" assumed? I'm sorry I don't follow what you're saying. I would guess that several other members have posted between the comment to which you are responding and your response.

I don't think people in general resent corrections to fact or inaccuracies and you were extraordinarily fulsome in your expressions of gratitude for a minor error that I pointed out to you in passing, so I would guess you're quite happy about that sort of thing.

Having just been told that a very good friend of ours [from the village] has had a heart attack and is in hospital, I shall wish you all goodnight for now.

First of all I didn't copy and paste anything. I typed it from memory.

Be back in a minute. Will just read next bit.

Moved, I don't mean today, this was late last night.

absent there are ways that the ISP numbers can be traced even if people open a new email account.

I don't thin GNHQ has superpowers, but they do have every member's e-mail address and, I think, some other information. I can't now remember what information I was asked for when I joined.

There you go then JO5 was out Christmas shopping not reading and not posting. Why do people have to assume?

I agree that it is not pleasant to talk about someone behind their backs even if you know they will be able to read it. As for correcting people, it has happened to me twice in the last week but not for spelling or grammar so that is probably allowed. I am probably guilty of those too as I am usually posting ina rush.

Just to help your memory,jO5 ,you copied and pasted 2 posts of mine from another thread, you omitted to include the post from another member in between them. My first comment consisted of 3 words, namely "Is it me?" Another poster replied "No it's not, but probably best not to respond" to which I replied "Roger, willco" . I don't see any "trip trap" or "troll" comments there.

You then began a thread into which you put my 2 posts (with some sarcastic seeming punctuation of your own), and followed it with an insult.

It would seem that your thread was deleted overnight, as I made 1 reply to you and went to bed myself about 30 minutes later. The thread that you c & p'd from was still active this morning, but has since been deleted. I have made no complaint to HQ about either your thread or the one that you took my comments from, so it would seem that either someone else did complain, or that GNHQ had reasons of their own to take the step of deleting them.

Butty - there are plenty of jokes to read on Just Jokes!

...the posts before B's Yes'm

Still smiling though....

Oh J & B - Your collective last 4 posts have given me the first smile of the day. Ta!

Is it only me who thinks some of the s look cross and some look whimsical?

Yes'm. Right away.

you didn't miss.

come and clear this mess up.

I know! I only came back on this flipping 'puter to look for a coat for grandson.

That was the sound of the shot you asked for, jings. Sorry if I missed

Bang

They deleted it before I got up this morning.

Which was ridiculous.

That is how I remember it. You put up what you think it said.

jO5 that was very far from the gist of it!

Joking, of course.
