Where is Anya

I agree too, kitty. She used her very ready wit to pop a lot of inflated egos, so made enemies. We could do with her back.

Quite merlot!

I second lemongrove
Over 100 postings and I still haven't found Anya.
If you are back,I would love to hear from you.

jingl was set up by those who knew she was on borrowed time with HQ. Like poking a hornets' nest. The old guard at HQ (can't remember names) had moved on to pastures new and one or two replacements are obviously not of a 'live and let live' mentality.

*Jingl's attempts to sneak back in provoked a reaction similar to a fox in a hen run. Oh! The outrage!

The new bland, sanitised Gransnet is the result

And your point is?

Here we go, here we go, yet again .

I don't think any of us actually understood what crime Jingles was guilty of, in the eyes of GNHQ. I agree with KittyLester on that one.

Good post lemon.

jings was much less abrasive than lots of posters and I never really understood her crime.

I hope that if Ana and Anya are reading this thread, they will consider returning to GN, anyway, if you both are then I would like to say hello to you, and hope that everything is ok in your lives.
Ana I miss doing our four Yorkshiremen routine!

She also kept referring to her faith, the bible and 'keeping to the rules' to the extent that she regularly consulted GNHQ about whether or not rules had been broken!
Ah! enlightenment

Ana said she was taking a break some time ago. I haven't heard from her since. I miss her too.

Granjura’s still around, purpledaffodil, under a different, but eminently guessable name! Try the Brexit threads.

I wish jingl was, but doubt she’ll be back after all this time. GN’s a much poorer place without her.

And I’m another who misses Anya and Ana - if they’re about with new identities I haven’t twigged!

I have a particular reason for remembering Greatnan as it was the publicity about the fact that she was missing and the help her online friends gave which led me to GN. I seem to remember Granjura was important in the search but she too seems to have disappeared. ?

I'm afraid there would be some who would delight in 'outing' jingl if she attempted to sneak back in again. Unless GNHQ lifts the ban I doubt she'll bother.

I miss Jings too and keep looking for clues!

I still miss Jinglebells has she got another incarnation on GN do you think ?

Yes mcem that particular person created a great deal of consternation for me and was the reason I took a break from GN for a short while.
On the other hand I was very fond of Greatnan and always appreciated, and was a little in awe of, her forthrightness.

I remember greatnan with great fondness,and after a break from GN was shocked to find out of her untimely death,although very forthright she showed compassion to those who needed it,I also had an invitation to spend some time at her home,sadly I was never able to take her up on it

Greatnan was one of the first on line friends I made on gransnet. Her posts were always well informed and argued. She was a very interesting member of gransnet and her input remains greatly missed.

Yes s2B was one incarnation - unlike Greatnan, I fear her note keeping did have sinister and highly emotive connotations.

They are greenfinch!

I'd like to point out that I was not being rude about Greatnan - just repeating what she had said on a thread.

I made no implication that she kept a 'dossier' (which sounds highly sinister and highly emotive) just that she kept a note of relevant bits of information. And she told us!

I’m fairly new, too, but I remember some of these names and had noticed their disappearance. It’s a pity if GN has changed for the worse.

It's no secret that Greatnan was a dear friend of mine whom I visited twice in her apartment in the Alps and I continue to mourn her very untimely death. I never saw her with a notebook and if she did keep track of some members it would be with the intention of PM-ing them to offer advice or sympathise with situations they had discussed on line.

Well remembered downtoearth.
She used to get on my nerves.

But I thought she was banned !

I believe that may have been one of the 'incarnations'!
