Anyways… next thing, Gilb chimes (for some reason) (he reminds me of Bali life in many ways when he first joined and now has said so much and departed for now) in for some reason and he again gets the wrong message.
Not departed and not chiming, and btw you still haven't explained your previous post on this thread towards me?? I'm not the kind of guy that holds a grudge against you or anyone else for that matter, since you are free to write whatever you want...
As for the positive....

Forget the others who have stuck their 2 bobs worth cos I don’t even bother to read their stuff mostly. It’s a bit like blab la bla la bla yer yer I know everything about Bali….mosta the time!!
Yeah that's very positive of you????
As for the 'old garde' the things they posted is a joy to read, they covered alot of things over the years, so newcomers (like me) can find alot of positive and negative information in the archives. And that's ofcourse a good thing, it only makes it very hard to find a topic that hasn't already been discussed.
The good thing is that there are always new people signing up, that stick around and have something to add to the forum, be it positve or negative is for each on his own to decide.
Also the already discussed topics can be rediscussed with these new members.
For you not that interesting, since you say you don't read their stuff mostly. Understandable(which I'll explain below), but don't put any newcomers down, because they don't measure up to your standards, whatever your standards are????
I think if your a member of this forum for a long time...it's kind of boring to answer another visa question or another where can I find this or that? And therefor maybe don't react to these kind of post anymore. And I don't blame them for it, it's quite understandable.
And if you(Dasha) miss the old garde that much...maybe you should join them in retirement?
No disrespect intended to members who consider themself to be part of the old garde.....as I am sure some of them don't post, but still visit from time to time to drop a pm here and there. And there are ofcourse long-time members who still are active in posting too. For which I (newcomer) , am glad they do.
Friendly greetings as always.........Gilbert.
