What does Gransnet mean to you?

Just come to this thread and was startled to see I'm named as a good guy too or did you mean Ana?

Whoever you are you've posted some very interesting observations!

Why would anyone who has little babies want to join Gransnet? Wouldn't Mumsnet be more appropriate?

Pompa... goldfish.. no.

Agreed . I don't care actually, but what I do care about is the notion that Grans are old judgemental people.

Most of us are not. We have little babies and we come across this site, where we are ignored, trolled etc.

People who have been here for ages are driving new grans away, we don't have anywhere else to go on the net.

X posts, mine took too long and as usual the thread has moved on.

Time to go

Hmm, I'm still taking the remarks as clues.

One clue. Ana, Merlot and Pomps, you guys are great

I have a small hunch. oh tell, please, merlot

Wish they would correct my spelling errors, suppose it would take too long ab, but you are our Olympic gold medallist , lap of honour please

I have never had a post edited, although sometimes I wish they would!

ExScot You're either a Scot or you aren't, where'er you may roam

What does GN mean to me - at the moment I am

Hijacked thread?

Whoever you are you are rather good at personal remarks.

Message deleted by Gransnet. Here's a link to our Talk Guidelines.

I was the one noted for flouncing, but that doesn't help me.

Yes, I'm with glass too. CBA with the rest of this thread.

Good point, glass.

I have never been to the Edinburgh meet up.
Confused? Or just confused and bewildered?

Oh god, cryptic posts and manufactured mysteries..... please tell me it's not true.

Why did you put your oar in at the Edinburgh meet? Then you flounced off. I am not a goldfish .

You may think that. I couldn't possibly comment.
PS I am not an ex-Scot as you so charmingly put it.

How could I forget Wobblybits?

Hmm, did I accidentally hit on something with goldfish?

Daphne, before I go, I have never come across such a nosey ExScot as you. You have scurried into the kitchen, and probably the church of Gransnet, and made the most nasty comments I have ever heard on a forum.

What does Gransnet mean to us Lara... well to some Gransnet is a lifeline.

They use this forum as someone to reach out to, have a chat, have a moan, have a gripe about things they maybe cant say to family.

Voice their feelings in a safe environment. Things they feel strongly about!

To others its just a excuse to hound a person and find every excuse to report for the slightest thing, until GNHQ ban that person.

'people who don't use a proxy' - whatever does that mean?

Blimey DB, how do you remember that ??? I have enough trouble knowing that it's Friday, starting to worry about myself, I hope it's down to all the pills I'm taking atm.

They will shoot me in the head for even exposing this. Howevever, Anya is another good GNetter. Xx They do edit, delete and ban people who don't use a proxy.

Trouble with me is that I have the memory of a goldfish, these clues are passing me by.

It's 5 to 8 from where I am sitting. Are you abroad stilltellingthetruth? (Hardly late on a Friday night )
However if we ARE still on the topic of what GN "means to us" perhaps those of us who remember lively intellectual debate, talent d poetry, some often bad jokes, not suffering fools gladly but offering wise counsel, support and genuine friendship, might care to pause a moment and remember greatnan who went missing 3 years ago this weekend.
