Yobbo, yes the limitations for putting up postings on this forum are frustrating. I keep coming up against all three restrictions; the 350 word maximum, and 2-posts-on-a-thread and 5 total in 24 hours. But I agree that they need to be there, especially given the number of respondents.

Just so long as they work reliably and are equal for all.

Graham, something went awry with the posting rules a couple of nights ago. I came up against the five-postings-in-24-hours limit. The message said that I could post again in one hour. Over an hour later it was still the same message. I checked my postings at that stage - I only had 3 within the last 24 hours. Was still the same story an hour later.

Graham,
Most of the views here are favourable to your article.
What can I compute from that?
It means to me that if asked the question if they believed that The Moon was made of Blue-vein Cheese?
50.1 percent would say "Yes" and 49.9 perecnt would say "No".
Thus proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the moon was made of Blue-vein Cheese.

kalweb, don't be sorry for me, hasbeen is not negative, it is a, perhaps too proud, claim. You must have missed the, better than a never was, bit. I am a BSc, who was a piller of industry, before the company told me I was too important, to be ALLOWED, to play with racing cars on sunday.
Liberated, I spent 6 years sailing my yacht & working threw the pacific islands. I developed a method of building jetties on islands which could not afford a propper one. I created inovations in their tourist industries, & got greasy fixing tractors & generators that no one else could, or would fix.
I have been a national champion in one sport, a state champion in another, & I finished third in a "Hobart". My maths got me a spot as a navigator.
I was involved in small business, & breading cattle, before I decided, that doing anything productive was a recipe for poverty. So I grew pretty plants for the gardens of Brisbane & did quite well.
I have a beautiful classic sports car, I built from 2 piles of junk, & the kids old show jumpers still come when I call them.
I am a proud Hasbeen, & as I sit at the key board, who knows, I may yet change the world, for the better. My idea of better, that is, of course

I don't mind advertising on the site - it's better than having to pay to visit. But please could it be advertising that doesn't feature supernumary apostrophes? As in "Viva's". AAAAARGH! My inner stickler is aroused.

Hasbeen

Bronwyn got it right! I fell for the bait. They say we get wiser with age - not me - have been gullible all of my life. Isn't it wonderful to be innocent?

Cheers folks
Kay
