*approaches nervously and tentatively* I think the only mistake that Admin appear to have made here is to basically spoil the lot of us over the years! Most of us, in all probability, now take this Forum for granted - myself included. When we attempt to log onto it, we expect it to be there, functioning without fault with all of its trimmings. If it slows down we complain, if a thread develops a malfunction we express further displeasure, and if a post disappears we throw the toys out of the pram (well I do!) and so on. Now that Admin have more or less decided to do away with signatures we communicate our dissatisfaction once more - most vociferously. It's only natural, we are merely human after all. However, we should in all fairness stop and remind ourselves that this Forum is not a right...we are not entitled to access it as of right, by law, or under some contractual arrangement. If, after years of permitting users of his forum to enjoy signatures, Admin in his wisdom now decides this should no longer be the case, then (it is my belief) that he is entitled to do so. The decision may appear inconvenient and even unfair to some, but, at the end of the day we should all remember that Admin could shut this forum down if he felt so inclined. And, to be honest, I wouldn't blame him given the hard time he is currently experiencing - not only on this thread, but in the Lounge too. I too have had my spats with Admin over various issues (still do), but, in the interests of forum harmony, I prefer to keep them private. I suspect this post might not find favour with some of you - so be it. However, I actually sympathise with Admin on this occasion as it is my view that he is being treated unfairly harshly. *ducks* Edited to comply with Sue's request (see subsequent post)
