HI there Aida,
I liked the CUre in the 80's - first time round - didn't even realise they were stil going. The hair isn't as big as I remember. |

Sorry for the tardy reply - been really busy. I'm a really old fogey (40+). *Shakes hand back and offers a polo mint* I'm not terribly photogenic so the ones I put on my profile are about as good as I put on a public forum. I have 3 rugrats and a gorgoeus hubby (even if I do sya it myself - now he IS photogenic). Unfortunately the rugrats have stopped my gigs days - I saw Travis at Christmas and before that the last gig I went to was over 13 yeas ago! Fleetwood Mac with some very dodgy supports (Hall and Oates!!!!!!). I haven't met Travis - we had to get back for the babysitter.
You have a good taste in bands especially for one so young! Indie seemd to nearly die a death in the late 80's early 90's and I lived in an musical quagmire. Anyway, enough for now, third child needs his hair washed. NIce to meet you, another mint? |

See, it wasn't that much of an effort (that's why people, in my opinion don't have the spirit we had before) I've been around for 5 years (with another ID before). Even if I didn't like whoever's band pics I'd bump in and say, oh nice, did u have fun? Never mind, don't intend to be boring.
To be honest I didn't reply to your Cure thread because the first post I read was in your "this board sucks" thread. You've posted a handful of times before then but I can't recall encountering you before.
So I found myself thinking, "why do I want to interact with someone who is coming seemingly out of left field and basically insulting everyone because no one responded to her post?"
I never was around the old board so I don't know you and you don't know me so my impression is only based on that post. From your friendly banter with Spid and the bands and films you like I imagine that you and I could have things to chat about. I think my first impression was wrong and unfair. Maybe if you post and interact some more with us newbies your impression will change too.
You're right, I guess it is nice board manners to acknowledge someone's post but it is also perhaps also nice to give Travis fans the benefit of the doubt and not get ticked when people don't respond to a post from someone they might not know at all. |

I just have to say I don't wish to be insulted just because I don't respond to everything someone may post. And people shouldn't take it all so seriously, I'm sure everyone on here is decent but also has other things to do, different interests and various other things which may mean they don't feel the need to reply to everything. I certainly don't expect anyone to respond to everything I say, I dont see why anyone else should. I may come across as a bit blunt here, but I don't like fannying around.
Just need to get that off my chest.
Edit: I'd also like to point out I've been on here for about 7 years (like you under different IDs), people come and go, but it's still an awesome place, and faaar more friendlier than other messageboards and forums I've been on! |

Word, Anne.
Aida, I suppose now that you've insulted us by basically saying we aren't as friendly as those on the old board for not replying to your Cure post, that you're finally going to get the replies to this thread, or the attention, that you wanted.
Like Grinner said, not everyone is going to reply to every thread or find everything on here interesting. Don't get all bent out of shape about it. It happens to all of us.
But regardless, I hope that you can find a way to make new friends here...because I think it's a pretty cool place. |

| Wow, so the Cure is still going strong. I saw them in Helsinki last century (I'm the same age group with Spid), and it wasn't the best gig ever. I had the concert t-shirts in action for a long time, though. |
