When we have something to say, I feel we need to take more care in evaluating our post placement. The forum is very clear and decisive. if we take the time to really look at how things are laid out.I feel we can have a better organized forum. maybe "Off Topic Highjackings" could become a category of which we could jump to for our highjacking fun. | ||

Roy, Ehh... I don't think I'd worry about it. I really enjoy the twists and turns threads take. Having a hijackings area might be a lot like having free speech zones, if you know what I mean. As long as we're civil I can't see any harm done. As for the Bike Week thread, I'm still eager to hear what Kevin decided to do.. John | ||

John, The forum has already desigated the zone. Miscellaneous -Free for all area - talk amongst yourselves...The club administration might of chosen it for just this very reason. I apreciate your opinion and participation. Roy | ||

John, Its not about harm as much as its about being able to participate in this sea of knowledge in a more direct and timely fashion. Not all may want to take the time to sort through unrelated info. As much fun as that may present itself sometimes. Roy | ||

John, Maybe Kevin might start a new tread under "Owning an Alembic"- fun stories to share. Not that I am trying to tell kevin what to do. Just trying to clear up the mess I made of his tread. Maybe give my opinion on where I would go next with it if It were mine to chose. Roy | ||

David If life were all fun and games? How would we get all of anything of value accomplished. Not to mention iron outall our differences. You got to admit that sometimes fun can slow you down. Roy | ||

Dear Moderator, I'm in this thread and I want to hijack it. I do own a bike, except it doesn't have an engine, and I do not drink beer. Do you think "White pizzas are for sissies" could be an appropriate contribution? Love and dope, Wizzy Periwinkle | ||

Adriaan I have a very short history in this club and Dave pulled this on me once before. This time I am not going to lay down and take it. I will follow it through.Regardless of how many of his buddies gang up on me. | ||

It's hard keeping these threads in a lighthearted vein, isn't it? Well, at least you're not calling your favourite music "pile drivingly heavy".[;)] Ah, to be in paranoia ... | ||

Lighthearted conversation may be well and good. I do agree. However right is right and wrong is wrong. So in the spirit of light heartiness I will stop there for now and see where we go with this. | ||

Roy. You said 'This time I am not going to lay down and take it.' What exactly are you on about? I've read the Bike week thread and haven't seen anything in there to suggest Dave was pulling you up on anything at all. What I did see was you being pretty offensive for no apparent reason and I'm wondering why? It was Kevins thread and he was happy enough to go along with the beer and pizza direction so why should that upset you so much? As you've said, you have a pretty short history in this club, perhaps you should read through some of the archives to see how many threads get 'hijacked'. That seems to be the way most of us prefer the club to be run. I notice you don't tell us very much about yourself in your profile, Not really joining in with the rest of us in my opinion.

Roy, I don't get the point of all the ranting. You just appear to be awaiting every post on this board and seem to feel every update is a personal attack. In particular you seem to hold some sort of a grudge with Dave. I have never seen Dave use insulting language nor personally attack anyone for their views or comments. He has voiced opinions but so has everybody else here. One of the things you need to accept is many threads end up discussing the three B's (basses, beer and bikes). In general it is considered acceptable behavior by the folks here and is easily stopped on request of the thread owner. Keith | ||

Hey Jacko, Maybe it's time to talk about the delicious beverages your country has to offer, I'm a big fan of the islay malts, Bowmore, Laphroaig, lagavulin.. I love the peat flavour Adriaan, way to go! Wise words, couldn't have said it better. Cheers! F.C. | ||

Hi F.C. laphroag is my favourite malt although I'll willingly drink anything that comes my way. Currently though, I'm halfway through a bottle of jack daniels that I got in may. I'm more of a wine drinker so a bottle of whisky will last 3 or 4 months unless my dad comes to visit. graeme | ||

You should have seen my dad's face when he tasted Laphroaig for the first time! He didn't like it at all... Now it's his favorite! I started with JD and still love it, but I must say I don't drink a lot these days... A few years ago I drank a whole botlle of JD in less than 2 hours, I've been sick for 3 days (severely, in fact was feeling bad all week!) and haven't been drunk since then! I've had a collection of 54 different Malts (Scotland and Ireland)but can't afford it anymore... (Alembic is to blame for that!) Sometimes I go buy a bottle and on my birthday I always get some botlles (filled of course!)Sometimes when i'm alone or encouraged by my friends I drink a tiny glass though, still love the taste! Hate the side affects! I still have a vintage 1976 Edradour (May 14th 1976 is my birthday) Distilled on May 10th 1976 Bottled June 15th, 1999 so 23 years old! Very nice but heavy, cask strength 53,1% vol. I'm trying to keep my dad away from that one! Cheers! F.C. | ||
