    Doesn't bother me who they wanna call themselves, it shouldn't make a difference. But it does seem to bother the "big lads", for some reason.

    That people come back with new names could be for a number of reasons that you are not aware of but are suspicious of, Why??:cool:

    Not everyone that comes back with a new Idendity is meant to cover their past one.:o

    agreed.

    Of course, we never no how long the young names have really been around...my guess is, as you've been surprised and saddened by the years people hang around you've been here a while too....?

    just reading ancient posts would be ....a bit boring I would have thought.
  • I use this forum because I am an unimaginative pencilneck salaryman so wound up by status anxiety and insecurity that I am compelled to revel in my own perception of self-superiority in front of strangers.

    I have a pathological relationship with money; I use it (and possessions) as a measure of personal worth, I use it to lord it over my family, and I use it to put people I don't like firmly in their place.

    Nothing wrong with that.

    Yes! it does get boring. I v'e been reading threads as an observer for a number of years before I thought to partake in the discussions.

    So whilst it caught my attention, only cause CH4 Forum closed down due to lack of funding and hence, mods - out of curiousity thought I'd have a look in. As for reading "ancient posts" - have you been reading up on mine?....if so, why? Do you want to get to know me better:rotfl:

    I hope to learn stuff. (Definitely have thus far!)

    The new/alternate perspectives you can acquire from here is great.

    There are specific posters (some of whom appear to be posting less?) who I have found to be most informative/helpful/educated.

    I also hope to share my stuff, & that it is of interest to others.

    To challenge what I disagree with.

    Plus there are subjects we debate here, that if I brought up whilst with me mates I'd be run out of town!
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
