Moonchild, I remember something about that happening. Did they, in the end, forget which personna they should have been, or something like that. I was fairly new at the time, and found it confusing, so took little notice

Can somebody please tell me what on earth would make a member do that?

Either I am not with the 'in crowd' or they have a screw loose!

I was right - Hawkwind and BrinsleyS are Peter Morgalla. I've just been told this by someone who has him in their contacts. I find this a little strange.

To get the membership no. I right click on the person's name, click on properties and there it is.

OK Annie, looks like the command bar is off to. Try under View (or type alt v).

No Moonchild, I don't think I was here then. I've been a member for years, but only discovered the Community boards less than a year ago.

Over the last couple of weeks, I have submitted the odd post to various threads, then I have gone to bed, and next morning - the threads have gone and I haven't known what happened to them.

Well this time, it's MY thread! I am closing down shortly to take myself off to bed - so if I come back in the morning (around 23hrs GR time) and it's gone - you'll know it wasn't ME who whooshed it!

Isn't BrinsleyS and Hawkwind Peter Morgalla. I find it very strange that he was playing this silly game. I always thought he was a serious researcher.

I had to laugh Berona..... I don't know if you were here when we had one poster put up a thread, and then change her boardname 5 or 6 times in order to have a conversation with HERSELF...... didn't the silly mare realise that all anyone had to do was to hover over the name to get the membership number......

I will never forget that one..... :0))))

Brinsley S is obviously a fan of Brinsley Schwartz. Perhaps Brinsley S IS Brinsley Schwarz. I do hope not :(

Yes, Sue. Who's Peter M? Not Welshy. Hawkwind/BrinsleyS's number is quite an old number.

SueMaid

SueMaid Report 13 Aug 2009 12:17

BrinsleyS and Hawkwind are one and the same - is that what you're saying Berona? Same membership no. and same name Peter M.

Ah! so you found us talking about it! I'm wondering if poor Garry will ever venture to put up another thread asking a simple question?

I think also, the change from a normal thread to one of criticism was so fast. It wasn't one of those threads designed to stir up trouble and then all of a sudden - bam - it's on for young and old. I'm afraid I really don't understand nit-picking. I'm with you, Berona.
