Hold up, old mucker, what's your hurry?laurie wrote:WHY NOT END THIS THREAD NOW AND HAVE DONE WITH IT ?
I'd just like to say....................... Of course, it's entirely up to Jim as to the direction he'd like this wonderful Stranglers forum to go. Christ knows, I'm sure a high percentage of all of us members, past and present, wouldn't have been able to keep this place going. I appreciate entirely what a full-time occupation this has become. Why shouldn't Jim streamline it?
I'm basically a lazy cnut who doesn't want a shitload of bookmarks in my favourites and for the past 2 years, being a Stranglers fan of a 'few' years standing, all I've needed to do to find anything out is visit this place first.
Shit happens, I'll just have to get over it!
I'll just have to get me act together and put a bit more effort in. There's room for all of us out there.
I also understand perfectly the posts in this thread, stating shock/dismay/upset at this turn of events. I've read all of them over and over again. Of course we're all pissed off that now we don't have everything grouped neatly together. Personally, I've always found 99.9% of posts, be they Mk1, Mk2, Mk3, Hugh, Paul, Baz even John Ellis, to be not over-inflamatory. But, it just goes to show how different we all are.
Shit, I'm more of a reader than poster, so I guess it won't affect me as much anyway.
For what it's worth..................I've found most of Hugh's solo work since Nosferatu to be a tad MoR! But, I'd rather listen to that, than most of the mindless drek that passes for popular contemporary music at the moment.
At the end of the day, I'm a Stranglers fan, whatever...........
There you go Laurie
