i agree lin i had that a few months ago .unfortunetly we are not on here all the time if someone else had asked the questionthat we give so for the people who say this it's worth saying nothing or replying to the questions we askxxx(:

If the jobs going for the quack - then my cv's in the post. Or does a good listener qualify? Lin

Hi Lin, I'm really sorry if you had that impression when I added to your thread on the Passion of Christ film yesterday. I said it so you could look back and have a look if you wanted to. I did make a comment about the film though, as I like discussions too and it doesn't matter if it's been mentioned before. Often new points are discussed which is great! Best wishes! John

Val just kidding - infact your a very very nice person. No they don't - sell broomstick at Ikea, and if they do you would probably find that they're out of stock when you get to the warehouse end as always. take care Lin

Lin, I just wanted to say 'hi' as well! When I log on, I tend to look down the list of threads and post a reply to them in order - but while I'm replying, the threads are moving at a very fast pace, so I'm sure there are plenty I've missed. I do agree that usually if someone mentions a previous thread, they are doing it because there is more info to be found there. Mandy :)

Hello Lin, I`ll chat to you, no probs. On replying to `threads`, I reply to those that I feel confident about answering. If someone asks a specific question about something I know nothing about,there`s no point in answering is there.so, if your in need of help, just holla. XX

Lin, You've got some replies here! It could have been me who wrote ' Is this board only for the chosen few?' Many times I have felt the same. I think I've started a good debate and few people are interested, yet others write rubbish and get loads of replies. I know how you feel. Jo.

Lin Can't say I've noticed myself - yes some are more "known" here, but that's only because they post more messages - personally I respond to everyone on the merit of what they're posting, not who's posted it. Bear in mind by the way that it's sometimes difficult to read from the words written what the implied tone was. I saw the "it was discussed in April" comment, and didn't think the person was saying that you shouldnt have asked. Paul
