EO no longer as active??

g,day yep crap factor is right, alot of dick heads on this forum , not all just alot . what do ya do dave

A good self assessment socket

JohnR,

G'day Al, I had just added you to my new Next G phone too, now I have got it there, I better use it. The old GSM couldm't seem to transfer numbers or was going to take ages one at a time. I had to transfer all the numbers from the PDA to Outlook, having previously taken the precaution of saving the normal Outlook email addresses. Delete the Contacts.... ahhhh, hope all is well.

Anyway al there but the ones in the phone so I am grabbing those as I go.

gday all

dont let it get to the stage where it upsets you, just remember to have a laugh from time to time.


a dig at each other is what its all about :-))))

Willem
( EO has a become a way of life ) is that why I returned,
Been feeding more photo's into "places" along the way too.

"a dig at each other is what its all about :-))))"

And that's why there were so many problems on these forums about 3 to 6 months ago!

There's got to be more to these forums than that!

Pete, we had a great time. Spent most of our time at King Ash Bay on the McArthur River. Very relaxing. Plenty of fish, but you sometimes had to work to get them. Lots of crabs and a few good feeds of prawns.

Apart from the fishing, we just like being out there.Camp fire every night. Cooking on the fire most nights. Light the fire and put the billy on first thing in the morning (if not fishing)

It is such a great life, we are heading back to the same area as part of our travels next year. If the wet season lets us, we plan on heading off late Jan/ early Feb.

Seriously , if someone gets "SCARED" off by someone saying " Check the archives " or anything else for that matter , then should they really be on the internet??....For christ sakes man , we are all friggin adults...aren't we??

Surely not everyone that visits EO are sooks!!

Cheers......Borgy

Agree Ozboc,

and Borgy, yes we are all adults but that is no excuse to be arrogant and rude.

I seriously believe some people read to much into other peoples replies...and some people are just natuarally arrogant and rude without even meaning to be...

Cheers.....Borgy

Well to me I read the "check the archives" as a hint that there is a lot of information there that the poster wants to make you aware of but doesn't have the time to repeat.

Like the question on the Wilcannia-Bourke roads - that was discussed a week ago or so, so I just said thread xxx because that is all I had time to do at that moment. If I had more time I might have elaborated on the "scenic" part of the question.

Yes i agree , we are all adults and sometimes should take it on the chin - But there have been a few new posters to this site that did not know how to use the search function - and when they posted there first message - they were hit with " This has been asked millions of times did you even bother to check the archives." And as a first time poster , this impression sticks.

The more polite way , and helpful way would have been to maybe do a quick search yourself ( as the respondent) then say something like, i had a quick check of the archive and found a post that may be helpful to you (quote link) . This is far more productive than giving them the finger and telling them to go figure it out yourself..

This site can be sensory overload for any new comer, and correct me if i am wrong BUT the idea of an open forum such as this is to help others in an informative way rather than a "find it yourself" attitude

Ok , i will step down from my soap box now ..

Thanks Brian. No I didn't bother with the rudder idea. Decided I didn't really need it.

Hi Brian, look forward to hearing about your recent travels.

When we left on our trip (March), there were few 'Grey Nomads' on the road. All the talk was about fuel prices and how it had stopped a lot of travellers.

On our way home (late July), the roads were full. Vans everywhere. So yes, the smart / lucky ones are on the road.
