Bring back payed subscriptions

A forum has at least three aspects:

1. A place for you to input information.

2. A place where you can gain information.

3. A place to discuss different opinions.

It is a fact of life that if you are searching for anything of value, you have to sort through an overabundance of useless material. Some of which may drive you into a rage.

It is unfortunate that many people post without thinking of others - they have an opinion and want the whole world to know it.

Sadly for them, it is of no consequence to the world at large, whether (for argument’s sake) the north pole is at the top of the world, or the bottom. By convention it is usually portrayed as being at the top but who really gives a @#%$^? Then there are others who have a wealth of useful and interesting information to input, but are put off by the nonsense that is found in some posts.

What we have to get used to is a bit like sifting through ten tons of river sand to find a nugget of gold.

It is going to be hard work, but if you find just one nugget, you will feel it was all worth the effort.

Unfortunately, as we are all only too well aware, we don’t live in a perfect world - you don’t pick up gold nuggets on the footpath - particularly on the footpath that everybody else is using.

So, be daring, take a deep breath and start sifting through the nonsense. Be on the lookout for that one little flash of gold,

it could change your entire future.

Oh, and have a happy festive season one and all.
