Forgive me if this has been covered before but I am relatively new to GN.
I form a picture of people from their postings. ( I hope I'm not alone) and then they throw something in that completely turns my view of them on its head.

Exactly, absent, no one is completely predictable.

Ana Lots of us are not at all predictable – but that is for us to know. grin I sometimes wonder whether I should reveal that I am, in fact …

No, no - don't do it absent! shock You'd lose that air of mystery....wink

Matson the upside down v's are supposed to make the word appear in italics, but jo8 didn't leave a space between 'in' and 'everyone' so they came out as upside down v's grin
If you scroll down past the message box, all is explained smile

Two members have made me more open-minded about religion - they haven't converted me, but they have made me see some of the good done by some churches and I am grateful to them.
Two other people have surprised me by apparently doing a complete volte- face on what I thought were their views. It is all part of life's rich tapestry, as the lovely Arthur Marsall used to say. (Does anybody else remember him - such a lovely giggler?)

Just a Minute Greatnan?

That was it, absent, and he wrote some very funny articles. He was a schoolmaster before he got into radio. Obviously homosexual and very gentle and sweet.
