E: 24/06 Win with Real Deal.

Thanks, Cat. I for one am very grateful for all you do for us on here. I don't always have time to post comps (or to find them) so much appreciate the work you all do for us. I have found everyone on this board to be helpful. I appreciate how patience can be lost when you find "newbies" posting the same questions or bumping old posts every day - it wastes valuable comping time! It doesn't take long to read the stickies!

As far as I can tell, Gollum is annoyed with Darren so is taking it out on Cat - which is totally unfair.

Yes, I believe that Dalkirst (and others) do sometimes come across as a little harsh - it took me a while to realise that there are some comps that are always posted by the same person - but just take it on the chin and move on.

We are all here to comp and if that means occasionally getting on the wrong side of the mods (or, god forbid, Al Mac ) then so be it.

Maybe there should be a sticky or something saying who posts what - it certainly helps on the postals and puzzler threads. (This is the part where someone tells me that it already exists, isn't it? )

Cant believe someone would post that!

I would class myself as a "newbie" and everyone on this forum has been nothing but nice.

All it took was a little bit of time to read the stickies that all the nice people spent alot of their time putting up for people just starting out on the comps.

I think this is were some of the arguements start as so many dont bother.

All it takes is a little gratitued for the posters of the comps.

They spend their time for the benefit of the others and some still complain.

I think they deserve more than some of the comments above!!!!

I was always under the impression that if someone regularly posted a comp, you left them to it to save on the dups, and save on the merges.
When Real Deal moved to 3 o clock, i asked the other posters who often posted if they could take it on, as i would be a little late because of the school run - they all said to carry on as basically they had the same problem and would probably be posting at the times i would be anyway. So i carried on doing them.
Unfortunatly, sometimes i get a bit held up so they are posted a bit late - so very sorry Gollum if i have a life outside the comp board! As far as having 'the right' over the comps i post, its not that at all, as i said at the begining, its to save duplications and merges - most of the comps i post are posted as they happen, so there is no way of searching to see if someone else is doing it - andi know that sometimes im late with real deal, but as i explained above it was left to me, and also all the other days i was late and did a search, no one had posted, its always typical on one of the few days i didnt search, someone had!

Luckily, Real Deal is back to 2pm next week, so no school run to interupt me posting at the correct time!

You don't need to defend yourself catowen. When I first joined this Forum I didn't post anything for weeks. I held back and watched to see what the etiquette was, read the 'stickies' and waited until I was sure that I knew what I was doing. I was brought up to respect other people, something that seems sadly lacking nowadays.

Catowen,

No matter how good and kind and helpful and pure you are, there will always be someone who moans.

The type who think Florence Nightingale was a Do-Gooder!

Please be ensured that these people are an extreme minority and 99.9% of the good people on here love you for what you do!
