One point I made to Scott some time ago is that personally I don’t like the whole Snowball Militia etc.etc. that has been on the forum from the beginning the new sofware was used. This gives me a bad taste in the mouth and also doesn’t help newcomers on the forum getting the idea we are a buch of nitwits or buccaneers who are just shouting nonsense.
As we have discussed before in person, I agree with you on this point. Light hearted humour from time-to-time is a good thing, but variants on the same old joke over and over and over.... well it just doesn't work. I wouldn't be surprised if new comers, after reading that stuff, don't bother to stick around, and long-time contributors/lurkers just "turn the channel" (quoting Steve Tournay).

WIX was (and should be) all about preservation, recovery, restoration and everything that is related to it. Without any political or neo-political humour.
Absolutely. Besides if there is something you feel you must say that just isn't on the subject, then put it in the off topic.
Thanks again Cees, and Harm-Jan as well, for being such excellant hosts last month. Please keep us up-to-date on your recovery activities, they are simply fascinating. If I had the time and $$$ I would jump on a plane to go mucking around a river someplace with you trying to located, or recover pieces from, some long-lost wreck. That would be a blast!
Regards,
Mike
