Of course they change. It's just a shame it was for the worse.

People (not you) have suggested that I'm trying to impose my views of the forum on it's members. I am not, I'm just expressing an opinion.

Sorry, DS.

Thanks for showing exactly what is wrong with TBF today, Stewart, I knew I could count on you. RK - fair enough, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm just telling you mine. No need to blindly copy it. Robert - Thanks. Mods are here.
