Oh, goodness! Croam and Pipastro - the point I am trying to make to both of you is that no matter how many positive, "intellectual", funny, helpful posts that either of you make, it does not give you license to follow each other round for an hour and engage in a pathetically immature discussion.
(Although - now here's a thought - why not do it via PMs? I'd have no problem with that!)
Pipastro, the crude sexual references...those weren't the ones I was refering to, although what you mentioned is a rather dubious subject matter at best.
To all: DON'T respond in kind to any insults, that's all too easy. If someone insults you and you sink down to their level, you are just the same as them. Or, in some cases, you have just fallen into their trap. Such messages will get deleted. I am sorry if I take a while to do so...I am one person! And I apologise for having work, friends and interests, and for not being glued to these forums permanently!
Oh, and please stop jumping to conclusions. Croam, the joke (for that is what it was) about the package from David - I was replying in kind to him when he mentioned that someone female (for he referred to a "her") had complained to me about him. That didn't happen, so I thought I would mention to him something that he knows perfectly well isn't true either. (For what would I be doing in Middlesborough?)
About branding...sheesh! Taking it a bit too far! In fact, the idea of this here came from the Proboards Support forums - they do it there, check it out. But yeah, they probably got the idea from Hitler...
I like the idea of visitor numbers LEAPING because people on here are engaging in a conversation. I picture people over on a gossip forum: "Hey guys, forget the fact Christina Aguilera's gotten married, there's SEVEN PEOPLE talking about themselves on the Visit Croatia Forum!!!11"
