There’s something for everyone from all walks of life and I admit there are some subjects that have little or no interest for me, so I either don’t go there or don’t get het up about it. If one crops up - it's best to move on. Wouldn't dream of being an objector. I reckon the Mods do a good job in allowing some latitude.
The ‘P’ word is full of traps and pitfalls but it is also real life. The rules are just and fine, not a problem. What counts is that odd concept, tolerance. Those who are unable to be just a bit tolerant can of course just move on. No fuss, no palaver.
On a personal note, I joined my first one-model Rover club (P6 club – see, a ‘P’ in the word) in 1970 and still have the membership card with my Ppppp6 on it. I was in it for years with nary a problem.

I am in the camp of the above it seems, so maybe it's time like pointed out above time to move on.
I don't actually go looking in the social forums, it all depends on how you look at the forum how you use it, IE i always go to quick links, todays posts, it is then that you can see that the social forum is almost always at the top of the list.
Only then do i see the titles and think what, why, who would want to know such drivel, not all threads but take a good look through some of the threads, it does not make sense to me.
So yes 12 years is a long time maybe it's coming to an end and time i spent more time on my other forums FL1, FL2, Nano, community, food for thought indeed.
Please don't post up, it would be sorry to see you go etc as i am not after sympathy etc, as i am a person whom once he's had enough of something i move on, discard it.
But yes i will try not to let drivel get to me, and i don't have loads of time on my hands, in fact there are not enough hours in the day to keep up with what i have planned, only this weekend have i removed two doors and all the trims from them 14 hours, including how to find out the best way to pull that elusive lock spring so you can remove the thumb part of the handle without damage, oil changed, and still loads to do, i am over and out.
