Why so silent? Come & say "Hi!"

Discuss anything here as long as it is clean. Having a hard time with your Skoonma, tell us about it here, or discuss the Rugby. Whatever you feel like talking about.

Why so silent? Come & say "Hi!"

Post by Family_Dog »

Had a quick squiz at the Members' List just now. I couldn't believe my eyes - 636 Members who have joined us (that's 50% of our current membership) have never even said "Hi!".

Come on guys, I recognised quite a few names from other fora, pop in and just say Hi, I'm so and so, and I drive a (whatever!).

Would be nice to hear from "the other half" :)

Hi Louis, good to have someone with common sense here! :)

The "ou manne" above are mainly blou-bul supporters and they therefore have very limited comprehension (verstandhouding vir die BB ondersteuners!) :mrgreen: :twisted:

I've got some info on the 2.7i on my computer at home, can copy over for you anytime. Just send me a PM and we'll arrange to make a copy.

:D Hi all, ... back after a 2 week break, ... the wife & I spent some time at our holiday home in the Hogsback. I tried the laptop / cellphone connection but poor network coverage and my lack of IT skills fortunately left me stranded from the forum, otherwise I may not have been here to tell the tale :twisted:

Thanks Eric, and yes, the break did us good. As for Cells, there are times when I wish the tech never existed, but they're really a "lifesaver" more often than not.

Getting off the track a little, how does one delete (not edit) an incorrect posting, is it possible?


Either edit the incorrect text out, or refer the specific post in a PM to one of the Mods, who will assist you!
