I certainly don't feel I have jumped on any newbies who ask sensible questions, even it's been asked a thousand times before, that's what the forum is for.There are certain ways of asking questions and we do seem to have had a spate of people who only join to ask about breeding and who appear to have no real interest in the breed itself.
This is completely off topic but....
I really love this forum and yes it has changed alot since I first joined, it's become alot (((((fluffier)))) but I don't class myself as a "first-class citizen" nor am I "elite"
nor can I be bothered reading about wether someone needs HRT or so and so's neighbours washing blew away because it was windy that day, but yet I stay. Why? because there is alot to be learned here that's why, genuine people with good advice. I would like to see some of you cynics run the forum or keep it going...how many of you actually donate? or how many of you donated to upgrade the new forum Software...the Mods did
This is a diverse forum, but at the end of the day we all have one thing in common we all have a Cocker no matter which way you look at it.
I do not feel the need to add snidey comments on to the end of my posts to score points, because quite frankly it's getting dead boring.
