Hi ProfJohnL. The jumping around that you referred to was the direct cause of me seemingly posting into an inappropriate section of the forum - for which I was questioned/criticised for and that made me look that I was one door away from 'The Funny Farm'.
Despite replying to the observation/criticism and asking for a Mod to move my post into the appropriate section/topic area - I was ignored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ????
Apologies, we really must learn to forget our domestic arrangements and to sit at computer desks 24/7 just in case you have any other requests for us to jump to. :S
Don't criticise the moderators!
Hi to Parksy & Lizzie. Just to put my comment into a more accurate perspective - I was not criticising any of the moderators singularly or collectively. I was simply stating a fact. My understanding of a criticism is that it is just a really bad way of making a request...so just make the request. I made the request but did not receive the appropriate response or see an appropriate action in return to that request.
Indeed - I cannot recall which post the I had responded to that actually ended up in totally the wrong section.
I am more than well aware that moderators put a great deal of time & effort into the work on the forums and that includes others that I dip in and out of.
Lizzie - there is little or no need to apologies to anyone for anything - that said my request was not acted upon and to the best of my knowledge the post has still not been relocated.
The personal time and life of moderators must and should come way way ahead of any work that is carried out as a moderator on this or indeed any forum to which the offer,pledge or dedicate their time to.
In my own personal experience of moderators on all forums from caravanning through cycle forums and across many many others - most do an excellent and totally unbiased/without ulterior motive job but there are always exceptions to that position.
Moderators are not a great deal different to the police and are akin to doctors and any other individual that has an opinion about a subject/content - it is always open to a second or subsequent opinions unless there are clearly laid down rules and conditions that have clearly been contravened.
