I really ought to unsubscribe as I delete it without reading it anyway.
The threads linked to in it are, as everyone has said, usually a few days old, and when I do look, the rest is competitions which , as an expat, I am not eligible to enter, or articles which I never look at.
Like most, I only come for the conversation. GNHQ don't seem to realise this. I think the whole staff just beaver away at the articles and contributions featured on the front page and consider the community forums as an annoying sideline.
Did anyone see "What has Gransnet been discussing this year"? It was not, as you might expect, a collection of the longest and most active and interesting conversations held from January to December, but a link to the latest active conversations, some of which were definitely not the most interesting topics of the year.
