Very true. That 's why I think political debates on TV are a waste of time.

I can't speak for anyone else but I like a chat in real life too but I suppose in real life, we chose who we chat with. There are a lot of people on here that I would enjoy talking to in real life ( you being one of them Floydy) but there are also a few that I would avoid like the plague.

I agree LD, but I bet we're not talking about the same people.

So sometimes I post round the outer edges....so to speak, and often I don't log on for a few days. Sooooo in answer to your question, I've gone from being a very involved poster to one who mostly prefers to keep her thoughts to herself.

Blimey,that ain't a good advert for new posters is it?..

Who knows Rox? I would chat you up just so I could stay in Scotland for a week.

I think that is a good point. Some posts by more recent members have been and gone before (not their fault of course) but I often think I have already said my piece so don't need to again.

Quite so. Trying to do so is an exercise in futility, which is why I never go in for debates in various topics.
