Quite a milestone. It's the most lively and compelling forum I'm a member of, I spend hours here, I get some earache for it too.

I also get told off for spending too much time on forums. I tell her that I don't bitch about her reading the Daily Mail for hours, but that doesn't ever go down well :shrug:

Comparing anything we do, that they don't like, to anything they do never goes down well.

What's more important than volume is the signal to noise ratio. The music sounds good here.

the mrs tells me the same thing... then goes back to watching Loose Women and the Right Stuff  :crazy:

And Greywolf is quite right about ADVrider... mainly the posts are in the 'Da Basement' section that is mainly pics of nearly naked women... that I know nothing about you understand  :shy:

Come on Juv, start us off to the next milestone  :neen:

200,000 =  :occasion-balloons:  :occasion-balloons:

Good signal-to-noise largely because we avoid destructive, all-consuming, endlessly reproducing arguments filled with invective and blame, counter-blame and hatred........possibly?
Does that make Vstrom uk anodyne?............Nah! :grin:
