I knew it! I should have guessed there would be some vain fellow who liked to read his own messages over and over again to boost the viewing figures! Just so that everybody else tuning in would think loads of other people had read his particular posting! Joking apart, this is still a bloody good website and hopefully it will continue to be used to good effect.

Thankyou webmaster. The thread views were what I was referring to. Some of these are very high compared to the actual replies received. Which means many people read the letters but do not supply any input. Anyway, my original posting has, after a lapse of a month, woken somebody up.

If you read a message on the forum, exit, and re-open immediately you will see the viewings increase by one. Therefore I assumed anyone could read a message and the viewing number would change without having necessarily sent a posting or reply of any kind? Yes? No?

Me again. Looking back through the forum I see that plenty of people have viewed and presumably read the postings, judging by the high figures in brackets. None have bothered to contribute or comment though. Odd that.

Has everybody been frozen in time in the county of Devon. Nobody seems to be using this excellent website. Or have you all departed to sunnier climes? Wake up all you ****heads and contribute something! It's not a discussion forum if you don't contribute to it!
