Dear all,

I joined FT about 10 days ago and have just recently upgraded to Pro status, and I feel that its money very well spent.

The site is excellent and very helpful ,I spent quite some time on the net and found this to be the most complete place to find what I’m looking for, it has something for everyone!

I must add that “Fit buddy” is a very good idea from beginners to the experienced but I tend to notice that subjects (threads” tend to get out of hand!

A little advice: Ask or answer a post with maturity, being clear and concise , and don’t forget you’re spelling; this is also a discipline…

De oppresso liber!

Welcome Lecter and congrats on the upgrade.

Best thing about this site is by far the people and the support they give. Not to mention there are some interesting personalities and that's what keeps it fun, granted sometimes we'll go overboard and it can borderline what you're referring too...but it's all in good old fashioned fun. Without the people here though I doubt I'd still be here. You can get information anywhere on the net...but can't beat the broad spectrum of people that visit this site...and the great knowledge they are giving freely to help us all achieve our goals.

SHHHH...Between you and me sometimes I feel like paying extra for some of the comedy I get around here at times.

Can't agree more, it is fun but I find that a lot of people take spelling for granted! Not only in this forum but overall, ie be it SMS, web, etc! Don't get me wrong, I'm no teacher, but I find a lot of people just can't spell and more often than not, they don't see the importance of it!

Disipline is the key to life...

click-click-click-click-clickclick-click = "Ya'll are nutz" in my regional dialect of African Khoisan

It took me a while to find the name of that language in a search engine...click is a very popular word on the internet.

Thank you kind Sir, I plan to make the best of it. As for the "disipline", you're the number 2 person to pick it up; your no-prize is in the mail!:dumbbell:
