To begin with, I thought she was joking .... "rules ,,, anarchy.. precedent ...." Then it gradually dawned on me that it was serious. I think it'll probably come to nothing, and hey, the moderator will become a better and more informed person as a result.

If not, Webbie better get some mair bandwith....

well I think its relevant cos he normally only frequents Mobochat but made the effort to post that particular comment on SB .. so it was'nt a throwaway post .. he went out his way to cause trouble

You should say this on the other thread then.

Well thanks chaps . . .

I now fully expect to get my own sig banned, which probably accounts for a not insignificant percentage of traffic to the site.

Never mind. I have PMed Simon saying that of course we would love to have his forecasts on here - in fact I would be more than happy to set up a separate weather forum.

Should there come a day when YBW drops the baton and the unwashed masses turn up at the door then I have a shiny new virtual server with unlimited bandwidth ready to go, with the database backing up as we speak. However, I am afraid that all MoBoers and sympathisers will be barred as - as I said before - this is a sailing website. Always has been and always will be, right up to the day I get a MoBo . . . :rotfl:

Apparently, the BT engineers have cleared the sheep out of the Seil Island exchange in preparation for a surge of bandwidth, so everything's much faster here and you don't get any 404s.

Chill out young man and have another dram or two.

Mind you I do agree with your sentiments (you even got the gender correct!) :lol:

I think it's perfectly acceptable to have a comprehensive armoury of rules and regulations, however, coupled with this, one must have the wisdom to know when and how to use them.
I think our pleasant peaceful place may become a wee bit busier now.
Let's hope the berks stay in Berkshire .... (did you notice?)

I appear to have tripped across too.

I was dismayed that such obvious inexperience could be let lose without some sort of supervision. The managements failure to grasp the nettle is mind boggling!





Now Claysie about you not having a boat in Scottish waters..................

No worries there - this site never falls over. The only problem here is all sheepshit lying about.
