Who posts on HPC from this board?

Just a quicky (cos we know some of you like it like that sometimes )
I have been pottering about HPC a bit and some of the threads have some real 'depth' to them.

I don't want to sound up my a5$y or anything, but I had dismissed the forum there as a bit ''Holier Than Thou'' in that ''if you don't have a zillion quid in savings and live on groats, you are not worthy to frequent the website'' but I think, I called it wrong.

Anyway, some really interesting threads over there....stacks of anecdotal from PLM's (that's People Like me ) plus from PLT's (the People Like Them ) and I wondered, just wondered, who goes there too as I didn't recognise anyones names nor posting styles from my quick visit.

It's like walking into a strange place and hoping someone will talk to you...then they don't and you end up cupping your hand over your mouth, breathing out and sniffing.:o

Apologies in advance to Miss Kool, who may lock the thread before I get any responses (as it IS a competitor afterall) but competition is good in a free market. ....ML knows that.

I have used 2 blush emoticons so far (handy when one can't find the right words) so says it all really.

Not me, but I thought we all had a zillion quid in savings and lived on groats. Is that not the case then?? I'll get me coat. :hello:

So, they have got to you as well have they?

And sent you out to poison other forums.

That's sooo...mean..NN I am not poison...I am...err..umm.. sweet smelling, butterfiles in pink or whatever...not poison (dear, dear no skull emoticon)

Explain, 'Who got to me'' ?

Some smart stuff there in amongst all the dogma. Not too much ranting either though I haven't explored all the threads.

Some of us pretend to have a zillion quid and live on groats when we are actually, risking our all on new eneterprises etc.

I find one forum on the subject sufficent. The level of debate here is of quality in the main. With plenty of varied and diametrically opposed views. I've learnt plenty myself. :think:

The recent purge does seem to have made the forum a more pleasant debating chamber. With a noticable increase in respect and politeness between posters , even if views differ. :beer:

The subjects we debate are out of individual control. Though hopefully we glean enough wisdom to pass it on to others outside of the coven.:shhh:

I learnt a lot from the HPC board. But there never seemed to be anywhere to join in. And they don't have a thanks button. cgnao was bit of a nutter - but he was proved right, sort of. eric pebble was a bit of a nutter, but he was right. I guess prohets through the ages have always been mocked until being proved right, when others take the credit for it.

Anyway I digress. HPC - good place to learn stuff. Bit dry for me though. And actually I think I've learnt all I need to know.

They are too serious on HPC for my liken

I used to post there, bear that I am. Some bright folk there. Does anyone remember TTRTR, always winding others up?

Ah yes - time to raise the rent. I remember well. I only posted four times though, was mainly ignored. They didn't really 'get' me. That's why I came here - spotted some amateur bulls faffing around and thought I could have some fun.

If I knew I was going to waste a year of my life I might not have bothered.

edit: Here's hoping I get ppr'd soon.

Nice one Mewbs. He was a terror the TTRTR. A lot here would be toast if they posted at the other place.
