Out here in Brittany where I live the Custom's helicopters fly over all summer. The trick is to grow cannabis in the centre of maize fields which are nigh on impenetrable! Hence the flyovers!

That's why you are so sprightly at 75 woodchip, when the wind was in the right direction. :-)

Yes posts all through PCA are drying up. The amount of resolved posts are also falling. I think most helpers are giving up. Especially when the holy trinity jump on you for replying. Not much incentive for new or old members to post a query.

I spend a bit of time in speakers corner but it's hardly worth posting. Every one, bar 2, are not allowed any opinion unless it cow tows to the favourites.

The 'new' forums webpage has deterred me from reading posts. The threads listed are well behind what has actually been posted.

There seem to be fewer posts of interest, for some reason. I sometimes do find very interesting threads in Speakers Corner. As n47 mentions, posting can be daunting.

I used to check out the forum frrequently and regularly before it was changed to this new format but I have to say I don't find it as inviting, or interesting since the change.

Like most things, ie inserting a ling, it's easy when you know how. However, I didn't have any difficulty with the previous format. Had to post for instructions on this format, even though, now I know, it's actually quite straight forward. Obviously, this new format is not as intuitive.

Would like to hope that the forum picks up again soon, whatever the reason for the current situation.

The lack of posts is the reason I have started a couple of recent threads in Speaker's Corner.

If anyone doesn't like them, please say so and I'll stop.
