A humble apology

I appreciate the advice Dylan, and maybe i do take some things too personally...but if i thought for one minute that this forum was nothing more than simply an exchange of words and that nobody took anything that either i or they said seriously then i would have quit long ago.
If you really think that nothing you or anybody else reads on here remains in their head longer than the time it takes to read it then what is the point in any of it?
Thankfully i do believe that this forum has had plenty of thought provoking and informative threads over the time it's been running...and i'm pretty sure that the majority of people on here can recall plenty of things that have stayed with them long after they've read it.
That's what made this place so great in the first place...the fact that it was far more personal than most other forums...it's always been much more than simply an exchange of words.

I get what your saying, but the bottom line for me is that it's a forum, and that's where it remains for me atleast. No more, no less. It doesn't affect my personal feeling about anything.
People say a lot on here they would never really say in person a lot of the time, unfortunately, that's human nature.
But it's nice to meet the genuine forum peeps on rides, like i did recently. That's where this forum really exists for me. Out on rides or events having a good time :)
