It also seems to me that forums develop a culture all of their own and when someone comes along who is a bit different then the "oldies" don't like change and resist them.<br> <br> I think the other important issue is that most forums the individual can be anonymous.tag:kindaconfewzed.blog.co.uk,2006-10-10:/2006/10/07/son_off_to_university~1196502/#c1884285Fewzed2006-10-10T14:09:10+02:002006-10-10T14:09:10+02:00I had never thought of it in that way, we have never really pushed him academically and I think he must take all the credit for that.<br> <br> I'm enjoying his girlfriend and its like having a daughter in the family, just hope it works out for them and thanks for reading my rather mudance blog.tag:kindaconfewzed.blog.co.uk,2006-10-07:/2006/10/07/son_off_to_university~1196502/#c18624222006-10-07T12:26:33+02:002006-10-07T12:26:33+02:00When that happens, it makes you realise what a good job you made of being a parent.

Moderators should just delete them and warn the posters to keep on topic or have their discussion 'elsewhere'. <br> <br> Agree?tag:kindaconfewzed.blog.co.uk,2006-09-20:/2006/09/17/paris~1134147/#c1747651Fewzed2006-09-20T18:22:19+02:002006-09-20T18:22:19+02:00Thank you the whole experience of the course has changed my life (Iknow that sounds very dramatic but its true).
