One thing i need to mention is that you need to have a CLEAR button for SPELL check.

Alot of people don't post cause they think they will be laughed at when they cant spell a word.

ITs extremely important to have and to demonstrate.

IMO i would post less if i didn't have auto check on :P MY SPELLING SUCKS

Do you think another "post whore" evening would help?

I prefer the term post party

The last one was certainly fun - and it was a long time ago. There is something special about the banter when there are quite a few people online at the same time. Good for community spirit.

I also agree with Vincent though - it can be overdone. But in our case, probably overdue.

So what is the rules Dave? Never had a party like that before

[Dave A]

Rules? Now we need rules? Last time was a real impromptu thing.

Well Riaan was talking about a gift voucher for our next contest. I expect I can tap him on the shoulder to recognise the best post or best thread starter - something along those lines. If we went for most posts, Snoopy would take us all to the cleaners This way it's a bit more of a lottery

Just an evening party - come as you are, make yourself at home and shoot the breeze

If I do the "weekly update" mail run on Sunday evening and promote the post party for Monday night, how does that sound?

Well, I have a workshop on Tuesday, but I will certainly try my best to take part! Sounds good to me!

Hi All

Dave (and team) I think you have done a great job here and I like the fact that this has not become a "follow the leader" forum.

I do think if you can in some way encourage a sense of fellowship, it will be a more welcoming place though? This is itself is a double edged sword. As soon as you bring in the sense of belonging and fellowship it becomes familiarity and familiarity breeds contempt as so rightly pointed out by Vince.

I personally love debates and would love to see more threads and issues being debated. So maybe when introducing some threads, introduce at least 2 ways of thinking and see if the ball rolls from there?

Dave, you need to break free of the analysis mode and have a laugh! It halts the aging process - *follow me now - sit in yogi position - go hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah and pull funny faces in the mirror until you are laughing naturally and uncontrollably - there now! Doesn't that feel better?*

I was watching a program where a yogi was doing just that to reach true Nirvana, except he had both ankles behind his head.

Thanks Debbie! I know I can count on you to bring a smile to my dial

Well what time does the party post start? - I need to organise my whisky and water

[Dave A]

Ho boy. What a night for my v3g to be playing up
