But it's not like the forums are going to be in competition with each other. pc just thinks that if people like this forum, they'll like his too. he's not trying to take away posters from this site.
You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.
So what? I've got a feeling you don't understand what a "rhetorical" question is. A rhetorical question involves making a statement by asking a question. Some people feel therefore it's a question that doesn't need an answer. That is not so. The hearer may feel as if the statement (made via the rhetorical question) is quite wrong, and thus will respond to the point being made.
That's the position here. Constable Plod uses this forum to promote his own in a way I find distasteful. As it's a public forum, I feel entitled to respond. If he can feel free to drum up support here, then I feel free to say I don't like it.
According to the broadly accepted ethical principle of Hedonic calculous, any ethical decision should be taken in accordance of which ever path will result in the greatest good for the greatest number. Therefore the use of such links in forums... blah blah. Forum ethics? Why should someone bothered about anybody else sticking links to other forums on the bottom of their posts (other than to perhaps provoke reactions such as this)? Sorry if I offended anyone with poor forum etiquette.
Hey, hardly anyone's visiting THIS forum! I can't imagine how it will be if everyone's off somewhere else. Sorry, but it just seems extremely slow around here lately.
Hey, nobody's saying i cant do both I noticed it is pretty slow here too. At the moment i am just flicking back through the pages, chaecking out some of the old stuff.
It's pretty much a ghost town everytime i am on here, mainly because i am in Aus, and the majority of people here are in UK, USA, Canada, so i cant really chat to people to often. It's 3.45 in the afternoon here.
