It has been unanimous amongst us all (and for some time now) that we all feel it should at least be members only posting in the BS. Lets hope we don't have to keep posting these posts in this thread the same time next year.

If you don't like it - you don't have to keep posting to this thread or indeed to this forum at all - do you?

Perhaps the fact that 'you' have been encouraged (by some of our 'moderators') to post your requirements (and for some time now) and that Max has not changed our forum in that period, in order to suit your requirements - should be telling you something?

Perhaps it is that those posters who are unanimous - have no need for a forum - for they have nothing to discuss?

And that if they want a like-minded private club where they can exclude who they wish - nothing is stopping them from going away and forming such a place.
