As a new member here im outraged by this thread,there was no mention of pie to me nor was i told to bring some,i can only assume its a Moot only affair.
Rappleby Nice post mate speaks volumes that you care enough about this forum to think about your impact upon it too this extent,online will never be an easy place to visit grammar and writing style very rarely match the person and at times dont put over the point intended.
Some may have a fancy poetic style but be very withdrawn in personal communication,others maybe be bright and fast thinkers but come over as naive and perhaps dim witted,the beauty is this confusion at times,often to me it seems the people that may clash are often the ones that may well hit it off in person.
We are fortunate enough to be in a position that we can go out in the sun or rain and see share these experiences,some people are less fortunate and the internet is there only window out into the world,with that in mind id hope people will look into the feeling and content behind post's that i contribute and i in turn will do my best to take a step back when reading others.
I dont think someone that posts here for a number of years matters more than a new person,but i do understand a little respect is due,as in offline life just be considerate to others,very rarely in offline would we jump down someone throat for expressing a viewpoint to which we differ.
To like bushcraft is guess you have to hold a calm patient steady manner in things and get pleasure in noticing what a lot of folks may walk by and not see,id say we would have more in common with each other than most and if we can keep that in mind we wont do to bad.
Myself i have found a lovely warm welcome from the site and look forward to establishing a place here and hopefully over time meet a few of you and learn what i can on and offline,even if at times my posts may appear to be scripted by nothing more than a semi shaven monkey
Rapple have you been watching the Gervais cartoon?,I like Karl due to that show and may get his book
