Well, I hope no-one thinks my most recent post above amounted to a "personal attack" on anyone, because it certainly wasn't.
To be honest though I despair at the tone of some of the posts above; I just wish people would write more about actually going caving. We've recently identified a need to try and encourage more youngsters into our pastime. Perhaps that thought should be borne in mind each time forum members hit the keyboard, so it may influence the way we write?
Madness; you mentioned that Linda Wilson is a forum member - but I think you misunderstood me. The point I was making is that if anyone is banned from this particular forum (even for perfectly good reasons) then they can't participate in BCA-related matters via this forum. Therefore use of this forum for BCA business can't be representative of BCA membership. I was only speaking generally and I don't particularly want to become involved in individuals' own affairs. I wasn't criticising anybody - just pointing something out.
Thanks for correcting me Badlad about BCA having its own forum. Perhaps BCA officers could usefully encourage us ordinary members to make more use of it?
(Damn - spotted a typo, so I'll have to "modify" this post as well. Sorry, awaiting delivery of new glasses from Specsavers.)
