Think this is what you're after. There's also a poll, plus some comments, in the main WFG forums, here.

Depends on circumstance. If it's something that's doomed to failure, I'm very much a follower : I see no point in taking grief for someone else's bad idea. On the other side, if it's something destined to succeed, I'll try and fasttrack into a position of leadership to help it along the way .

Um, well, yes. Anyone 61-99 isn't accounted for, and there are some members that age. Also, some people appear in multiple age groups. For example, if someone is 21 they could be 18-21 or 21-25.

Interestingly enough, To Kill a Mockingbird is actually in the Top 21 of the BBCs The Big Read, a quest to find the nation's best loved book. Never read it myself, though.

Indeed. 28.

Pretty much anything that comes from Prince Philip's mouth. For example: "Do you know they now do eating dogs for anorexics?", said to a blind woman with a guide dog. Perhaps not so much stupid as grossly insensitive.

How about "levels" of membership? Obviously here we have forums dedicated to staff only, but I'm thinking of a scheme operating at a more general level. Forumers that post more regularly get access to a higher level forum than most; so you won't lose anonymonity at higher levels - because fewer people post at higher level forums, you'll recognise the names of those that do post. As the forum grows, the number of levels of forums increase - effectively forming a pyramid of forums, with only the most frequent posters having access to the top most forums. Having said all that, I'm not a major forum user; this could easily have a lot of drawbacks.

Well, Mr Swede, welcome back .. keep posting .

My name is Rich, and I'm a nicotine addict. Why? I wish I knew. I'm 28, and for the last 10 years, I've smoked around 40 cigarettes a day. A good idea? Of course not. I don't think I'm stupid. I even think I'm quite bright. I can see that smoking has zero benefits. I know a spend a small fortune each year. I know the effect smoking has on my health, and I'm reminded every time I exercise : standing bent doubled up coughing up a lung isn't glamorous. I know I stink of smoke. I know, if I don't quit, smoking will kill me. And yet I don't stop. I don't think I've an "addictive personality", if you believe in them. I shop, but I'm not a shopaholic; I drink, but I'm not an alcoholic; and hey, I even gamble, but I certainly don't need to register with Gamblers Anonymous. It's just nicotine. Do I want to quit? Yes. Every day I say will be my last. I throw out all my lighters, cigarettes and ashtrays at the end of the day. Does it last? Never. By midday, I'll have a new lighter, more cigarettes. I'll fashion an ashtray out of whatever I have to hand. Am I really just that weak-willed? Or I am missing something? Please, someone tell me there's some light at the end of the tunnel. Failing that, just tell me there is at least an end to the tunnel. Rich

LOL, funny topic. For me: falling backwards off a wall onto the concrete floor of the back yard. I was only about 4 or 5, it was one of my earliest memories. It wouldn't have been so bad, but I was going to see Playaway at the Wetherby Playhouse that night. Rest of my family still went; I got a Playaway annual signed by Brian Cant himself. Irreplacable. Also got run over by a car when I was 9 on way back from fish and chip shop. Got no signed souvenirs that time, sadly, but hey: with 3 months off school, who cares? (Sorry to revive old thread, just seen it ..)

Must admit I'm a bit disturbed to see the biggest book ever written about Turbo Pascal on a shelf behind you.

Keep killing the trees and taking the pills. Everything will work out fine, trust me.
