    Its ok, I'm not offended :cry::(:o:D


    Of course I fed you the line, I just wanted to know if people actually read the OP, there shouldn't really be an inbetween just a yay or nay, it was like I said on another thread earlier it does make me wonder if people did as you can get soooooo many doofus comments in a thread that are slightly unnecessary if the OP, not the whole thread had been read properly


    A lot of us give a lot of time and effort to this board and its kinda disheartening ( well for me) when people don't appear to have paid attention

    You posted at the same time as me and now I'm posting again having read yours :)


    Know what you mean though to confess I probably am guilty sometimes. The old brain gets weary you know when you get to my age :D

    Like others I have a 2 stage process.

    1 - is the prize something I'd like to win?

    if yes, then click to open, otherwise just ignore.

    2 - is the OP someone I trust?

    If yes, then I just scan the to see if there is any bold/ coloured text as the OP will highlight anything important.

    If no, then read the OP fully, check out the website (especially if its a newbie OP), then decide whether its worth entering.

    I follow a very similar method - I like to check out the Ts and Cs on the site just in case its a "by entering you agree to be spammed forever" firm - I don't mind the odd newsletter you can opt out of immediately so much, but do get irritated by the "simply by entering you agree we can do whatever we like with your information" types.

    (I must admit I also get put off by the "send an email to x@wibble.com" type comps)
    Wins so far this year: It's been a quiet year so far :)
