Kevin get ALL of Wesley S's prayer right- will you please? It is important to get these things right if you are going to constantly refer to it. And yes it does apply to me too (again).

Grant our members and guests the serenity to accept the things they cannot change - the courage to change the things they can - and the wisdom to realise that this is a forum open to the public and that they have no control over the posts and ideas of others.

It is 'things they (or me) cannot change'. Not the things that we aren't able to change

Things are able to change and they do change all the time and sometimes you need a bit of courage to even make the effort to try and change them. When and only when you have made the effort - can you decide whether you can change them or not.

We may have no control over the posts of others and finally accepting this may bring some much needed serenity. But by setting the best example, we can have influence over the posts of others. As we can by setting a less positive one.
