- 13 October 2011 16:50131384No offence intended to you Howard but when I see you have posted a new subject I am now hesitant to open it as it generally offers no comment merely a link on today's freshest news. I may only speak for myself here when I say I come on this forum to read interesting discussions not to be sent to another web page to read an article which could be summed up quite easily. I feel the 'local' news, which is what I joined to read about/discuss, is being over shadowed by politics and general Non headline national topics. This is my opinion only and welcome those who disagree.Keeps politics to myself
- 13 October 2011 17:01131387Some valid points there Helen, the local stuff can seem to go off the first page very quickly replaced by very wordy articles.Audere est facere.

13 October 2011 18:03131406I tend to agree with Helen.
If nothing else it would be nice to know why you posted the links apart from the dubious joy of getting the political boys arguing again with some of them.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 13 October 2011 18:04131407I don't mind the links. Sometimes I open them and sometimes I'm not interested. But I enjoy the variety of the site .
- 13 October 2011 20:47131427The problem is that so much of the link could be cut out. Copy and paste would be better.Keeps politics to myself
- 13 October 2011 20:59131430when i have copied and pasted a link i have been accused of selective quoting so it is better i post the whole link.
people can see what the subject matter is and chose whether they want to read it. - 13 October 2011 23:08131457I would rather have the link than copy and paste.
And I like looking at links that others find interesting and perhaps would never have seen.
And it's no great hardship to click the red cross if you don't fancy reading it. - 14 October 2011 17:12131555I think Howard is just keeping us all informed as to whats happening as we go about are daily lives i like then some are funny good work Howard keep it up. more informative than the local paper just lately.
- 14 October 2011 18:35131571thanks alan, the intention is as you say.
i try to make it a mix of local and national issues. - 14 October 2011 19:37131584Yes indeedy, one must be careful.
I read in the current edition of Private Eye that The Mail website, "the most visited newspaper site in the UK", spies on it's staff and customers.
"For example, social media monitoring programme Radian 6, among other technology, helps to monitor Facebook and Twitter, as well as blogs, news sites, forums and videos to find out who is saying what about it's brands..."
Oops!
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing. - 14 October 2011 20:20131589hard to believe tom, i know that the daily mail is run by honest, upright, decent, kindly and litigious people so they will have no problem with me.
