Yeiks!

What with the latest postings on 'Feedback from Buyers and Sellers', new members may have wondered what kind of forum they have joined.

Come to think of it - what kind of forum have I joined?

Only 4 more members to lure into the Cabal before all is revealed!

Regards

So, now we're up to 1,999 members! (Welcome Spirit!)...............The big question: Who's going to be the 2,000 member?
Are we all going to jump up shouting 'Surprise' & blow hooters when they walk through the door?
Turn the lights out & hide behind the sofa, I think they're coming

Let's be sure to give whoever it is an especially warm welcome

Providing of course that they introduce themselves....
