What did I miss, who left? Anyone interesting?

Agree though, there's a few trolls hanging round these parts that generally just make the whole thing not really worth the effort. All for disagreement of opinions and heated debate, even with some of the numb-nuts who frequent (Likewise I'm sure) but the trolls are the cholesterol on the CUK artery.

That plus all the people admitting to their alter ego's. Why bother, if you get your kicks that way fine, but keep it to yourself cause personally it just makes me suspicious and removes the desire to post just so I can be the object of someone else's windup jolly.

Well DimPrawn left a couple of weeks ago, and Denny left yesterday.

Did anyone else leave?

What on earth is it with some people?
I'm going... I'm not... I've been wronged/abused/insulted etc... I'm back etc...

I like posts from people that tell us what they are eating at the moment. Or what they're listening to.

Garbage In Garbage Out. I blame Bagpuss and Sasguru who between them have the intellectual value of a Swiss Cheese Plant. Too many weedy pigeons on here these days too.

What exactly have you ever contributed to this board, apart from the same nastly little snidy comments over and over and over and over...? zzzzzzzzzz

Perhaps we should have a whip round to buy you a new record?

[Numptycorner]

You only have to look at General to see only one actual thread about contracting.

Since when was General about contracting?

It's a message board ffs - open to anyone, which includes a wide array of geniuses and madmen.

The more geniuses leave, the more madmen remain, and the message board goes to hell in a handbasket.

Veterans out there - has CUK always been like this? Is this a phase?

Yes, in all seriousness, the board has slowed down a little lately - but that's all down to the users, and it's up to us to inject more momentum into things.

The post rate and quality seems to go up during downturns, and tail off when the market is bouyant. So if that's true then, ironically, a crap quality IT bboard is an encouraging sign.
