Ooops , almost missed this one......but you just know I'll have to reply. :intello:
Not a forum rule , just some advice for Newbies so that other BM's will be able to base their replies on the "prior knowledge" of our new members.
To say that a Newbies intro "
is read by so few and remembered by even less" doesn't sound like a very good way of getting new members to interact and feel welcome on the forum.
As for a newbie having to post a intro "before being
allowed by me to post a question" , don't know where you get that silly idea from ???
But there have been first posts (from some newbies) asking for details of bar-owners/BGs/ BMs and in the majority of cases these have received replies to the effect of "Who are you ???" and "Why do you want to know ????", I just suggested a way to save others asking these questions.
My reply to mcdon11 was not intended to be either rude or arrogant , and he was kind enough to post a brief intro which clarified why he was asking the question. I then thanked him (politely) for his intro and hopefully pointed him in the right direction (Hobbsy) to get the answer he was after.
About
my post being "
rather rude and full of self importance", I can only guess that there are no mirrors in Kamala ............ but there again I may be wrong as I am only a tourist/holidaymaker and not an expat living there.:whistle:
PS. I was actually having a day off , rather than an off day and would still ask Newbies to please post an intro as it helps to 'tailor' information to suit their needs/nationality/experience/age etc. :great:
