    I think the main problem the team will have now will be from people who want to be 'outraged' at the change for the sake of it. I don't envy them.

    Oh yes, they've made a rod for their own backs. May they be hoist by their own petard!

    Maybe they should have stuck to the old adage: 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it!' Certainly not on account of a couple of 'Professional Offendees by Proxy'.:rotfl:

    I'm offended by that little warning triangle?

    Can we get rid of those? That would make it more fun and my feelings wouldnt be in quite so much turmoil.

    Judging by the number of threads I think there are a lot of cross money savers (nerds/geeks).

    And if you complain are you not a 'professional offendee by proxy?'
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    Maybe I should make a halfway sensible contribution (might make a nice change :rolleyes:)

    Ok so I've gone from a Mad Maverick to a Supergeek. Big fat hairy deal (apologies to any big, fat , hairy croupiers out there ;))

    The descriptions have changed. SFW. Doesn't matter why. Move on....
