It is the beginning of the osprey season and as always some posters are still missing in action.
What posters are missing that you particularly enjoy hearing from?
One of my favs is Robert The Bruce.
Tiger Signature

I remember feeling so tense before making that first post. I had found the reference in the Sunday Times of 9th May 1999. So I lurked for 15 days before taking the plunge. I did not immediately think I would make a second post and a third. Then it became a habit :)
Starting a thread was huge in those days.
Then I found the BBC forums and the rest is history.
BTW Mountainzone was bought out by Quokka a year later. They did not last any time untl they went bust in the dot.com crash. Later Mountainzone revived but it no longer has forums as far as I know.
2008 TIGER
Or was it 2007 ? Anyway, another life time ago
Tiger, I can't remember when I first joined this site, but they wouldn't let me sign in on two occassions, probably because I never said anything,so I had to change my pseudonym and e-mail address twice. My present real name and 3rd e-mail address has lasted since 2008, but I was definitely a lurker for most of the time before that. Your 15 days of lurking sounds so short a time compared with myself and I often wonder what stopped me posting. I was used to computers and was so confident in my job but actually saying something on a forum seemed so frightening. How times change.
I can understand you being frightened, Brenda, onliners can be cruel in their anonymity.
I'm going to email CC (she of the lightning Photobucket videos done on her rewinding Mac!) pronto to tell her that EJ is back.

CC will know already. She is a member of my forum Ospreys. Apparently her laptop is dead.
Hello everyone, I'm here too! ;-) My time is not my own for another week or so though, so won't be posting much until then. So very glad to hear that EJ ids back! Now the wait it on for Odin's return.
Smiles, Jan.

Oh no, not a dead laptop. I know the feeling, I have a semi-conscious one.
I've already emailed her now - I hope she feels valued, if over-informed ;-)
Nice to hear from you Wattle, & that all is OK with you.
