    I agree Lloydy this thread is failing to do its job! imo it should be un stickied! and rise or fall with usage like the nest and short news!
    There is a general welcome on the top anyway from Syd !
    Newbies tend to come in on a thread of interest to them anyway!
    would be interested in what others have to say .......and no Ak , Lloydy we wont bother with a poll <laugh>

    I don't agree, sorry Norway. It's welcoming to see a post for Hornet fans, from Hornet fans. It doesn't need to be used. It's an informative thread, and if someone posts a hello on it, all well and good, but if not..it's still there to welcome them into the fold :)

    Leave it be Norway, people will read that as it is on the Watford board rather than the general one. They may look but choose not to comment.

    The first thing that I do when someone comes to the house for the first time is to welcome them. It is a simple act, but can put them at ease.

    If you have a look at the number of replies as a percentage of the number of views, it is not much different to many other threads.

    I'm one of the newest to the site I think and I read this first. I have never seen Sids welcome message, where will I find it?

    I dont think it matters whether its posted on or not. We should have this thread as a point for new members to read and get a feel for the place. Its just basic courtesy as pointed out before.

    I must also agree with Frenchie that when I did start I was made most welcome and Ak even makes me a nice cup of coffee each morning which I enjoy with everybodies views and Frenchies lessons, hope you didn't fall of the ladder the other day. I have not said much since the Riots Thread however as I felt my opinions upset some of the established members. I still enjoy reading your comments daily.

    C'mon You Golden Boys

    Dont worry about upsetting people Charlie. We all do that sometimes and none of us should really take comments to heart. After all its your opinion.

    Thanks for the advice young'n:police:. I wasn't upset, just didn't want to stir it any more. As I said I was made very welcome but didn't want to get into arguments with established members.

    Hows your training going?

    Thank you CL for enjoying my lessons, which is rather more than Mme does as she disappears whenever there is a ladder involved. I did have a friend who died when he fell off one, so I am very careful. However I have come off a pair of steps. Having wider treads you can actually forget that you are not standing on the ground and step backwards to admire your work.

    To get back on thread, I am pleased that you were made to feel welcome, it should be the normal thing to do. I wouldn't worry about what has been said in the past, words can be dangerous if someone chooses to take something out of context or mis-understands where you are coming from.

    Thanks to for all the above posts
    I think the consensus is to leave as is :)
    Nice to see you back Charlie;) dont forget that you have just as much right to post your opinion on any thread as anyone else here! and if it sparks a discussion then all the better;)
