Hmmm you might just have a point Jigsaw - you just have to look about this forum to see that it is a dying skill. People can end a thread with one word answer - one word answers tend to leave you with no scope for discussion.
As a "real" person away from the forum I am in the business of communicating with people so would hate to think our online community turned into our real one!
I prefer to talk to someone and listen to them rather than just banter backwards and forwards all the time. Yep I agree banter has its place and can be fun but when it spills over into every discussion it is tiresome.
So sorry Ryan I can not prove you wrong lol
