Not, of course that you would forget ChrisW and also Merlin and myself!
Of the top 10 most frequent posters 5 are from down south!
What a lot of 'soft southern jessies' there are on this site!
James
And if yer count the south Midlands as down saff (Im originally from Barnet, North London) and want to go a lowly 12th in the frequent posters, then
its at least 6 outa 12!

I hope you're not suggesting that I'm a bloody Southerner.
North Notts here, almost exactly on the border with Lincolnshire and I take offense at being called Southern.
ps, this post should take me up to 3rd...

I hope that's not some kind of innuendo Mr Builder....
Anyway, I'm not from Lincolnshire, I'm in Nottinghamshire. Therefore I refuse to take any notice of that statement of yours...

No rich,nothing meant by that just a larf.
I'll have to emigrate myself at retirement date,my pension will probably buy me one loaf of bread a week.

A few thoughts:
List of up and coming events ie autojumbles?
A compilation of FAQ's / build diaries.
Compilation of build lists, ie "you will need . . "
Review of 'the book' vs actuals, ie book says C is 123mm long. Should be 133 mm long
Indicator against posting to show the text relates to 750MC formulae rather than generic advice. ie "You can put a 1600 engine in . ." may mislead
someone building a car for the formulae that this is legal.
Glossary: Trailing arms? Hub vs king pin vs upright?
Publish builders' status. ie I've just started welding and would like to find other in a similar state. I'm ready for test drive, who wants to book
an airfield.
SVA section of what's covered, what's not and details of what is acceptable.

Chris,
Is the clock right on your server?
Everytime a new post arrives, the time shown is about an hour earlier. Did you adjust for summertime?
cheers,

With Merlin (13th) it's 7/13 which being more than 50% means this is really a "soft southern jessie's" sport. Or do I mean hobby? Or perhaps I
mean art!

Thanks James you are now known as "stato"
Thanks! Well, I guess that's better than 'Soft Southern Jessie' as my tagline now reads.
Thanks Chris! You wait till I see you, I'll f'ing well...
...weep uncontrollably in true Soft Southern Jessie manner!
Just to add to the factual minefield that is this site: the top 12 posters to this site (no.12 has twice as many as no.13) have twice as many posts
between them as every other member put together.
What that really tells me is that there's 12 people here who're spending far too much time on the internet when they could be building their
cars!
And yes, that definately does include me! But atleast I only browse when I'm at work! And therefore have nothing worthwhile to do anyway.
Even I've not yet convinced my boss that if I brought a pile of metal and some welding gear into the office it constitutes work!
James
P.S. It's really, really sad that I worked that out isn't it?!!!
Wouldn't want anyone to think I'm bored at work or anything.

Chris,
Is the mail system POP3/IMAP4 based?
Bob, If Chris's reply is yes then you can use: http://www.mail2web.com
to access any POP3/IMAP4 mail system anywhere.
If Chris says it's POP3 then all you need is your mail address and your password. If it's IMAP4 then you need a server name, logon name and
password.
With this info you can access any of your mail accounts from anywhere in the world- for free!
Hope that helps- depends on what system the mail server uses though.

Bob/James
I know the server supports POP3 - pretty sure I installed an IMAP daemon aswell but don't quote me on that one. I'm hoping to integrate email with
the u2u system in the near future so everyone will have an email address automatically.

What do you mean 3 beers? He could still type so it can't have been that many!
Actually, judging by that photo, he was probably drinking bacardi breezers or something similar!

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
