I have only just spotted this,and as his last post was 5 months ago,I hope that he has not given up on us and migrated.
Maybe he simply feels that he has assimilated enough.in which case I wish him well.

I'm grateful to have learned from the wealth of freely given information here.
Life/Major Health problems can get in the way of "hobbies", don't assume that not posting for some months necessarily means "given up and migrated"!

I find it odd that you view my post above as sarcasm.
That was not my intention when writing it,and I am not seeing it upon re-reading it.
I find it even odder that you are of the opinion that I am habitually " frostingly sarcastic"!
I may have to consider getting myself a proof reader!
Of course,there are many reasons for a person to stop posting or leave long periods between posts.

I'm already here.

A gentle jibe maybe, but I didn't detect anything frostingly sarcastic.

Punctuation could be better though, there should always be a letter space after a comma. ;)


Of course, if you add an 'h' then you get a sarchasm - that's the gulf between the author of a sarcastic comment and the person who didn't get it.

Grunthos,
I am afraid that you failed the audition as proof reader :) The sentence, I may have to consider getting myself a proof reader! could be misconstrued by some here as a sarcastic comment in itself. You are not the one to watch my back ;)
Do feel free to stick around and hand me punctuation tips :-[

Packs, I assume that was a Get To France(polite) rather than Gay Teen Forum abbreviation? ;D

Robert.

Or even GrunthosTheFlatulent - that sarchasm was pure gold!

But unfortunately not original. It came from an American newspaper competition (New York Times or Washington Post) where readers were asked to add, subtract or substitute a letter in a word to produce a new word, and give its definition.

Like foreploy is any misrepresentation about yourself in the hope of getting laid, or an ignoranus is a dimwit who is also an arsehole.

Ditto the sentiment etc.

Post some detail on the kit you have at the moment Inspector Gadget, or what you're hoping to do. That way, we'll have some idea of suggestions, guidance etc.......

Thanks for the welcome guys, yes I have had a Megahome airstill for a while now and recently finished my first wash and am pleasantly surprised with the results. Needing to find out more I did some searching and am glad I found the airstill guide pdf, will be putting that to good use over the coming weeks. Wash was a turbo48 8kg mix and the technique i was using was to throw the first 50ml then keep 750ml and bin the remainder of the wash, A visit to a brewshop threw me a bit when the guy said no... keep the first 800ml then save the next 350ml and add to the next batch of wash and so on... time to delve a bit more and here I am... hopefully able to input as well as output IYKWIM...

regards and I'll update my profile as soon as I can...
