Gooday Kiddies.
I notice that there are some pretty severe posts creeping into the forums.
I am pretty quick at picking up whether they are sarcastic, tongue in cheek or just plain vindictive or nasty. unfortunately some people (particularly new members) have no idea of the humour or psyche of the person posting them. For some others this is their initiation into the world of Bulletin Boards and have no idea what emoticons are used for.
To these people I say do a bit of a read about emoticons and forum ettiquette. It will make my job easier and others reading more pleasurable.
On another note. If you can't find your post it has probably been moved to "open slather".
