I'm new, lots have been here years... as a result of being new I just take posters as they are from their posts, not knowing anyone, gives me now an opportunity just to comment on how I find the 'thread' of this thread. My experience of this thread is like that of any other 'forum' threads, lots said by a strong vocal few and that certain posts are given to be more valued than others...no different than anywhere else. It's a difficult job to weed stuff out or say to someone things that may be difficult for them to take on board. It's part of online life. I only joined Bluemoon because of the UEFA stuff, that's another life time away, if it wasn't for people in this forum posting what they' have I wouldn't be half informed as I am. The feelings I get from posters in general are a mirror of what's going on out here...as in anything people will take a point of view, cause agreement or disagreement, there's few views I don't care for, but hey ho that's how it goes. All I will say there's no need for anyone to feel 'protective', the overall conversation is pretty solid, it has inputs from a wide range of people both from home and abroad...which to me commends this thread rather than distracts from it. Carry on with how it's going, if somebody doesn't care for it, then that's their view...they don't have to participate...I'll shurrup.
