@Lynne , @Andysport , you are right. After reading it in full, I don't see any reason for removing the thread. Perhaps, as you say, it would be best to let the debate rest unless new information becomes available.

ok, thanks @ramt65 for letting me know.
@Lynne , Please feel free to debate any subject. I didn't remove Paul's thread because of the subject matter, but because of Paul's comments. It would be the same, for example, if you had posted the links you have with racist comments, but you haven't.
sorry @neilh , at the moment there is no voting module available, but i will look into getting one. also, i'll look into having a disagree button.
@stephen15 , i've emailed it to you. I will be adding private messaging to this site at some point!
I included the news in with the discussion early on as I wanted people to be able to comment on news. I probably should have included articles and events also so people can comment on these, but I can do this in the next version.
This is now showing now on the first page of the events. It was because the end date was set to 29 Sept!
Raft Race has been delayed by 24 hours due to the sea being too rough.
Hi Paul, I've set up the Bipolar Awareness Group, modified your 2 events, added an article on Bipolar and merged your discussion threads into 3 and removed duplicates. Let me know if this is OK and whether you need me to add anything else.
Also, I should mention the @ symbol preceding the username is recognised as in other forums and will bring up a box showing the user's last comment and links to the user and comment. I have demo'd it here and thought it could be useful on long threads.
News spam has been removed.
Hells Bells, I will move this to news, what's-on or create a web page for it as I think it is important to accommodate all things relating to Dawlish on this site. Please bear with me on this for the time being. I think sometimes it is not clear where best to post things on here and it is tempting to post on the most popular section - the forum - but I have plans to improve this.
Sorry @Fronterman and others, this is not a Dawlish Swan that is missing. The number is a Camborne, Cornwall one, so I guess the swan has gone missing from there? The email address also suggests this but I did not want to publish it without the owner's consent.
Bardwell, try switching off IE 6/7 compatibility mode if it is on. This site should display the same in all the latest browsers including IE 8 and above.
Also, the idea is that you would follow us on Twitter, Facebook or the Feed (in orange) and you wouldn't really wan't to follow us on all 3 because you would get the same information and links to the information 3 times. Also for any other social or bookmarking sites we hook into in the future. By the way, there are a lot of users shown on the feeds that have signed up but these are not shown ...
OK, I'll leave it as it is unless anyone has any objection.
