COSY ?

[Guest spin cycle]

i'm all for sticking up for the moderators. i don't believe this site is a democracy and as such we abide by the rules or go elsewhere...BUT....in my view 2 threads were locked prematurely today ( STAPPERS and CHRISMAIDMENT) and i worry that by trying to keep a 'rein' on the site it may become to 'cosy'. a few weeks ago the latest post section was so full of birds for sale that it began to resemble a market place....asha (for all his sins ) in my opinion curbed this ,allthough i concede he hurt some good people as well. if the site just becomes a place where people just exchange platitudes or compliments then perhaps it will loose its appeal. on the other hand perhaps after 600 posts i'm becoming cynical and that is why so few members pass 250 posts...then again i could just be thinking way to much
