they were indeed 'happy days' Harry, very much missed. What was suspended? - no one got suspended in those days , now its common place - No one needed to be.

Hi Harry nice to see you post again and I agree with what you say! But like BC am hoping it can change but like you I tend to agree that it is more the membership than GR. Kaz x

Harry! How good to ''see'' you! Having arrived home from work, and having a quick look at the site, I saw your name and just had to say hello. I am remembering one of your nice threads in which you mentioned me ... :-)

I said it to you the other day, but I'll say it again now. I miss your threads Harry. A good bit of gentle sanity in a mad mad world. Good to see you and I hope you are well. Today is all the happier for seeing you. xx

I couldn't have put it better myself, Harry, and agree with every word. While I also agree to an extent with those who say - if you don't like what you see, ignore and move on - it saddens me to find that I am ignoring and moving on more and more. I refuse to accept that I'm just an old fuddy duddy with no sense of humour or a self-righteous individual with no understanding of 'free speech', but there's a reason why I don't read tabloids newspapers or gossip sheets, and why I find name-calling and insult-slinging offensive. The general board used to have a lot to offer; now I'm sorry to see that so many interesting people have left and can only conclude that, for me, the narrow- and small-minded are best left to their own endeavours. That's not to diminish the interesting people who still join in the boards, but they are a shrinking minority and I for one am fed up with wading through the dross to find the occasional interesting snippet. Even the 'happy' threads are often inane. :-(

Hello Harry We were only talking about how much we missed you the other day. It's such a pity that this is a 'one off' as you make this board a better place to be, however, I fully understand if you choose not to remain with the current climate. I wish that this board could once again experience such Happy Days. Take care x lesley
