    I just tried digitalspy but there is already a Quasar in there - it is NOT me, just for the record. Being quite attached to my username, I can't bring myself to either change it or even alter it slightly. :(
    The alternative forum started my myself and other mse members a few years ago was largely ignored and now it's there waiting to be used but I doubt it will take off  now.
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    Yup - the one at 8.11 am ( if you tap on the word 'spam' in your profile and scroll down, you'll see the post(s) that have been reported as spam)
    What would Buzz do?
