Morning all. Just catching up. As an infrequent poster on this thread I've said before and I'll say again.... One thing that annoys me is the sometimes 'holier than thou' attitude to 10 Ways and HUkD. It's clear that people here hammer some glitches, just as those on there do. Its dog eat dog, we are all after the glitches and bargains. I'd just like to see some people here be a little less judgemental and holier than thou whilst clearing shelves and stacking their crates.

Whilst we are at it, this is a VERY fast moving thread and many of us don't sit on it all day. Whilst it is annoying when people ask stuff that we either know and/or has been posted a dozen pages back, some people have a lot of other things to do in their lives and can't spend all day every day sitting at their computer. It's sometimes just as easy to reply and help than it is to make snide remarks about reading back etc.

Be nice to everyone and don't be so judgemental guys. Love and peace to all x

I have some sympathy with this ChrisEvanson as I have been unable to keep up with the thread lately and I would very much like to, though maybe for different reasons.

But it is interesting that you are trying to encourage peeps not to be judgmental, and yet I read you post and found some of the comments both derogatory and judgemental, yet I am very sure that was not your intent. If someone suggests to read back a few pages then that is usually good advice, not a snide comment. If it is indeed just a few pages this takes a couple of minutes, well worth the effort if you want to hook a fantastic bargain. If the answer is a way further back in the current thread or even on a previous thread, folk usually take the time to hunt it down and link or reference it. We all read and interpret things differently and that is why I don't usually comment on such stuff, but ....

I wanted to comment here becuase I think at a time when the thread is very very busy it is important to underline the fact that the spotting and grabbing of bargains is not the raison d'etre of this thread - that is why it is here, on this sub-board, on MSE, and not elsewhere. If you want Grabbits, there is a board for that on MSE and there are plenty of other sites that do similar - you have referenced a couple that do it very very well.

This thread is resilient and sustains because of the way it has evolved and becuase of the way it self manages. The very people who "sit on it all day" (doubt there are in reality many if any of those) are the bedrock of why the thread continues through both glitchfests and lean times, through harmony and discord.

"some people have a lot of other things to do in their lives and can't spend all day every day sitting at their computer." I don't have the time to do this, nor does anyone here. The core of the thread, the trunk of midwinters tree, is a group of wonderful folk (am not including myself in this) who day in, day out don't just between them keep this fab thread going, but do so with verve and style and compassion and empathy and with joy and laughter and tears. And the fact that in doing so they save us all bucket loads of money is a bonus and a blessing. I am uncomfortable when I see this criticised, because that is the "goose" - not the actual glitches themselves. And when there are lots of glitches and there is disharmony on the thread, then these folk should be applauded for the way they do things, not dissed, because it is so much harder to sustain that equilibrium and yet it is done, through thick and thin.

Absolutely everyone is welcome on the thread, everyone is encouraged to post. But please please don't try to change the way the thread runs because it has been tested over time, it is good, it is sound and it helps hundreds of folk every single day and I would be very very sad if that were to stop.

Morning paw sniffers,


Lovely to see HJ posting last night:T

Chris...I understand what you are saying about answering questions but quite often there isn't anyone around who knows the answer. You rightly say that it's a fast moving thread and I think there's a general understanding that it's sometimes best to say nothing rather than fill the pages up with "I don't know"

And yes we all lead busy lives and it's just as easy for the OP to read. BAck and find the answer for themselves.

That said I get all worked up when someone is in A and is on their phone and needs a quick answer:eek:
