Hi Kev, I was wondering about this the other day - it seems over the past few weeks there have been quite a number of threads starting with words like "This is my first time posting..." so it seems there are a few members/visitors joining up. No doubt there are others that move on though and I began wondering what the overall numbers were doing.

Imagine your task of organising the gathering if half those members decided to come along! :-)

Ps. I like your signature line - the same could be said for a lot of things.

We are being told that the economy has faired very well during the recession and this may be the case. Its amazing what some boffins can do with numbers.

I do, however, feel that a large chunk of the Australian population are still struggling and many are yet to see worse times before any improvement.

I feel that the increase in members and visitors is due, in part, to more deciding to holiday in Australia rather than the expence of overseas travel.


Cheers......Lionel.

Hi Sir Kev,

Maybe the increase is because a new "tolerance" has been achieved. There is a fair bit of banter on this post alone.

I resigned my membership, despite the fact that I was a "good boy"when the moderation became IMHO "extreme" and stayed away for over a year and used other sites.

Then I had a question that mega needed an answer so I asked the forumite crew. By clearing the cookies I re-registered as a visitor.

I again find forumites invaluable in their freely giving time to spread their knowledge to a point where on our return from 2 OS celebratory holidays I will rejoin as long as I can have my old call sign back.
