This pretty much has no relevance to any internet based forum / group-
they are a differnt beast- and part of their amusement value is young
fresh trolls making an arse of themselves- and sometime providing decent
input. It is not an old boys club and never should be.

I deliberately made the point that the group includes people of all ages.
Likening it to a works canteen should have emphasised the point. How can a
newsgroup be an old boys' club?

Pretty much every newsgroup soon develops some sort of club/clique
mentality .. and like it or not Bill there appear to be several /old
boys/ here who drool on your every word.


Surely in this medium all contributions are
valued by their intrinsic merit.

Spot on - people , and newbies in particular shouldn't have to sit
quietly and tip their cap to established posters, they should be allowed
to make crap comments and then they will indeed be judged on there merits.

AS you say - all contributions can be judged on there intrinsic merit -
a few crap comments by a poster such as jamie are welcome as fine
material on which we can then make a very slightly informed position on
which to judge his other posts. We should not be encouraging him sit
quietly and take notes.

cheers

No, but it's a pity he wasn't taught manners.

Some of these pics have aerials in them. Many don't. One pic poses a
question, to which answers are invited. Several pics might possibly spark
a discussion in this forum.

Did I miss it or did nobody comment on where the A, B, CD installation was?

It was at Emley Moor. They monitor Belmont. To cut a long story short the
three aerials solve different reception problems.

what the **** is that?

You give the impression that your education in the English language is
lacking, and that you are unable to use web search engines to seek
answers, or you just do good John Wayne impersonations :+)

The fact that you have set the followup newsgroups field to invalid/
irrelevant newsgroups

uk.rec.ufo,uk.local.essx

would indicate that you are motivation appears to be to cause trouble.

Nevertheless, I suggest you read the page at

I was thinking it would be Emley. I saw it in the distance the other
day from near Holme Moss and felt all nostalgic. I used to live south
of Wakefield and could see the mast from the bus on the way home from
school. Since then my parents have moved to Sheffield where they have
to rely on Belmont to get terrestrial TV. Me, I now live within sight
of CP and Croydon.

Getting my A levels on natural ability then running into a hard degree
course at a college of the University of London where I actually had
to work and not being used to it I fluffed it :-(

Since then I have had a long distance relationship with the good parts
of the country but have some great friends down here and this seems to
be where the work is.

But you stayed in London?

It was ever thus. I have London friends who went to the capital for 'a year'
in the 1970s.

I think a factor is that the friends you make in your early 20s are often
friends that last for ever, because by then your personality and theirs are
formed.
