at times Trencher; I think you were right 1st time 8)

Up until 9 months ago I had never joined a forum of any sorts, I did,nt think it was my sort of thing. My Husband is a member of all sorts of forums and I have never understood how he could spend so much time on them. But I do now, thanks to every-one on here.
I was initially on the site for about a month before I plucked up the courage to post. Initially it is daunting. The image of a forum some-times seems that when some-one talks about how many ski hols they have booked, how many pairs of ski,s they have, what clothes they wear, how much they have spent, etc etc etc it looks like boasting. BUT ITS NOT.
Its sharing their pleasure of the different places to go, the merits of certain ski's, boots etc. The best places to go, the best deals, best airlines, etc etc. Its great I love it. I even love the threads that go completely off topic, the drinks, the food, the music threads, every-thing.
The leg pulling can upset some but it generally is very harmless fun. I guess we have all posted some-thing, hit the send button and then when you read it back later you realise you could may-be have been a bit more tactful. I know I blundered in the last few days, but was really meant in fun. I just supposed for once I could be the one doing the leg pulling, instead of having my leg pulled.........nearly backfired.
So I for one love this site, and feel I know so many more people.
Its because of this site I now plan to go to Niederau, Switzerland, and Mayrhofen in the near future. I know some of the best deals, the best equipment, the best thermals and even the best wine. I have increased my score on a Pavel quiz from 1/10 to 7/10. So long may it remain.

Forums are funny things. You can be completely anonymous but still feel self unsure.

I'm more than happy posting the odd message or two here but still feel a bit intimidated posting threads on the sailing forums I also visit.

I'm pretty much a newbee on this forum, and I can't really understand anybody being intimidated on this forum or any others come to that.
It is all about the sharing of information and what we all have in common no matter how in or experienced we are is the love of the mountains, there are some members out there who are very passionate about some of the threads, but I read and then make my own mind up about the topic.I think somewhere out there we have a couple of very sensitive souls, come on guys relax the snow is on the way.....

I like this forum... fun, friendly and informative!

The only thing I don't like is the obsession with Niederau! (only joking lads!!!)

blimey you're brave :lol:
