The new layout

[Cliff Rogers]

People in glass pots shouldn't throw black kettles?

Kings in grass huts shouldn't stow thrones.

I thought is was 'A pot in time save a kettle in the bush'

[Gumby]

Do unto others and then run like buggery in the opposite direction

Nope, that was 2 birds.....
Mind you, too many pots & you'll have to p in the bush.

Doh . Just ignore me. I'm an idiot.

I think it's because I was logged out every time I've viewed, and otherwise I just haven't noticed it. This site seems to log you out automatically after a while.

Thanks for the attention, and for a great forum.

A few points:

Let's face it folks, most of us are (or are becoming) grumpy old men. As such, we have an increasing Resistance To Change.

Only a fool or a very brave man criticises a work in progress (I don't know how many times I've had to politely tell a homeowner to bugger off and come back when I'm finished when they start harping on with "that doesn't look straight" or "are you going to leave it like that?". I don't recall Neil saying "Look everyone, the new upgrades are finished, what do you think of them?"

As others have pointed out, theae forums are provided free of charge to the user, with Neil footing the bill as well as spending his valuable time sorting out arguements etc (ably assisted by the various axe-weilders, deputies etc etc) If our extremely benevolent dictator decides that the default skin for the forum will be pink with purple polka dots then so be it. If he decides that the whingers, knockers, stirrers etc are all getting too much and that he's going to pull the plug (as has been hinted above ) it would be a terrible shame. Probably lead to an increase in alcohol consumption, domestic violence, home workshop accidents involving loss of blood and digits, many unsuccessful projects, lots of newcomers to woodworking floundering in a sea of misinformation, and more than a few marriage break-ups. In short, the end of woodworking civilization as we know it and a descent into the dark ages. Hell, we'd probably have to (try to) frequent US based forums where they don't allow off topic posts or off beat humour.

So, quit whinging, wait till Neil says it's finished and then wait till he asks for input (if he does). In the meantime, enjoy things the way they are or go out and make sawdust. Righto then, Ill get off my soapbox now.

Hey Cliff, I thought you didn't give a rats ring.

A good spray of righteous anger is good for what ails you.

Ok, great, just misreading between the lines then.
