"Highlighting differences between the boards could easily lead to trying to make judgements over which is better. Please let's not go there". I`m with you there, Tommo. That was exactly what happened after the cull on the old Beeb board - rival camps and certain amount of mudslinging. It didn`t change the situation and, given that we have all been posting together for the last 8 months, it would be a great shame to fall out. Btw Mary, I didn`t think you intended to "cause any them and us feeling" either  |

Seconded - then you get petty rivalries and sniping going on which is counterproductive and harms the communities being compared.

That was how it was phrased, initially (whilst R3OK was closed), but if you look again, it's not what it says now.

Wikipedia says anything you want it to say Lord B - it's an online encyclopaedia created by its readers. Some unsuccessful composers have even created their own entries on Wikipedia whilst trying to pretend someone else wrote the material - this is considered to be against the spirit of Wikipedia, but there is nothing to prevent the shameless from doing so anyhow.
In fact that Wiki change about the boards was made by Ian Pace in person - he said so on the BBC R3 official message board, in the "Platform 3" section. I thought it was an extraordinary and unjustifiable act of cynical self-promotion, but I no longer have the energy to argue with him - there, or anywhere else.
In sharp contrast to "that" board (where they are having discussions about which topics from here to clone, which threads here to decimate by deleting their former posts etc) I think this board has been a model of good behaviour. The moderators from here have done nothing but wish their board success. I wish them success too - in principle a "Music & Society" board ought to attract a vigorous following. I'm sure they wish us success too - they just haven't got around to saying so yet.

nce coming to these boards, I have never had such a warm welcome. No where else is there where people are more warm hearted and their hospitality so welcoming.

Hello BBMaestro I agree things have been a bit unlovely for a while, but though the divorce was messy and the bride got away with a rather generous share of the wedding presents, at least the plate-throwing has stopped, the fragments have been swept up, and there's actually quite a lot that's good going on here at present. There is a lot good going on "over there" too, and posters are spoilt for choice at present |

Yes I heard all about that. Great shame but all water under the bridge so to speak now. A great place to be here.

Yesterday I found a frog in my downstairs loo - not actually in it, you understand, but on the floor of the cloakroom. How on earth did it get there? All the doors fit quite well, and I'm not in the habit of leaving front or back doors open for long. It was quite a small, young frog, and it was just as surprised as I was. I treated it like a spider (glass over it, card under it), and put it outside. It's a mystery.  I hope this picture doesn't scare anyone. I think it's quite sweet. |

Frogs really are rather darling little chaps although I'm better aquainted with toads myself. I have it on good authority that the average toad really doesn't have a jewel in its head, but rather some poison glands which make them bad news for overenthusiastic dogs. Mum used to have a fairly well-fed toad who lived under the dustbin platform.

I love frogs and toads. I don't know why, but I quite like picking up a frog if I have to - even though they have a habit if peeing! However, I wasn't very happy the time a large frog took refuge from a cat by zooming up my leg under my jeans! It clung to my calf and I had quite some difficulty prising it off! It was very cold and clammy - the feeling remained long after I'd evicted the frog! Not long after, a mouse ran up my pyjama-clad leg - eek!

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.
