Hope that chip oil burner is still running Albs 

[MR MISTER]

It is a shame that we have lost a good long standing member of OOF and the site is poorer for it. 

Sadly, I've seen it before where a small group of people who were determined to make what they belonged to, exactly how they wanted it, with any dissent deeply frowned upon by the small group and they succeeded. The problem was that the small group that was left was not viable on such small numbers and it closed. The ex-members who left were quite happy where they joined other more welcoming easier going groups.

In our leisure time, we are forced to do anything we don't enjoy as it is our free time. Nobody, is forced to be on OOF, we do it because we enjoy it, once that enjoyment goes and it becomes a chore, you move on.

With dwindling numbers of Omega owners and certain people acting like pitbull terriers with attitude to anything apart from their point of view, I can see the same happening here and could name now the few members, who want OOF how they want it, with no dissent please, who will be left, when it closes.

Direct quote from an E-mail I received from Albs.
"I thought Rods2,s post hit the nail on the head btw. You can tell him that from me if you want."

Quite probable why the "delete" button was pressed

Trouble is...if you press the delete button, you are giving in to them.

But who is this "them"?

A clique, a group, or just single members who can express how they feel?  I have always noted how it is those that suddenly feel out of line with popular, majority, thought and feel for some reason threatened accuse every one else of being in a clique or similar.  Bloody hell, thinking about it I have felt like that in the past, but then put my toys back in my pram and now just keep things straightforward.....well most of the time!

It's 'us' and 'them', Lizzie. You're either with us or against us. Well

I am with no-one.  I am an independent thinker and doer.  Always was in business, and always will be elsewhere. I am no-ones "YES" girl!

But I have made people offers they can't refuse!

I live 5 minutes away from Albs, he popped a couple of parts round to me free of charge & helped sort out a problem
with my car when I first got it & joined this forum. I don't know him very well but he seemed like a decent guy & I wish him well.

I don't think it will be long before a invitation only chat room opens up on this forum
