Having read this thread through from beginning to end I am very sympathetic with sutgesdad's view of this forum, one of whose purposes has always been to offer help and advice to people who are new to the area.  The stupid 'banter' going on on this thread really isn't going to encourage anyone to take this forum in the slightest bit seriously.

oh my! pondgirl,i do agree with what you are saying   :) now that must be a one off. ;D things on here do get past a joke some times .
