Default Re: Having a laugh?

I can see that it's difficult Paul. It did seem to coincide with the rise in "Retro" interest but only the "management" gets a fuller picture I suppose. Perhaps it's been both a blessing and the opposite in terms of what followed. There's certainly money in it. Forum members are so generous with their time and knowledge that it's a double edged sword. I think that, in some ways, the fact that new members often seem reluctant or unable to do the basic reading could be more of a problem. On the other hand many who post just simply haven't grasped the different ethos here at first and turn out to be real enthusiasts in the end. This may be evidenced by people saying "be gentle with me" or apologetic, suggesting that they've had a less than welcoming experience elsewhere. That pesky human nature gets in everywhere doesn't it
