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.http://kindaconfewzed.blog.co.uk/2006/10/07/forums~1196483/#c1891413http://kindaconfewzed.blog.co.uk/2006/10/07/son_off_to_university~1196502/#c1884285tag:kindaconfewzed.blog.co.uk,2006-10-10:/2006/10/07/son_off_to_university~1196502/#c1884285Tue, 10 Oct 2006 14:09:10 +0200I 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.http://kindaconfewzed.blog.co.uk/2006/10/07/son_off_to_university~1196502/#c1884285http://kindaconfewzed.blog.co.uk/2006/10/07/son_off_to_university~1196502/#c1862422tag:kindaconfewzed.blog.co.uk,2006-10-07:/2006/10/07/son_off_to_university~1196502/#c1862422Sat, 07 Oct 2006 12:26:33 +0200When 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?http://kindaconfewzed.blog.co.uk/2006/10/07/forums~1196483/#c1862376http://kindaconfewzed.blog.co.uk/2006/09/17/paris~1134147/#c1747651tag:kindaconfewzed.blog.co.uk,2006-09-20:/2006/09/17/paris~1134147/#c1747651Wed, 20 Sep 2006 18:22:19 +0200Thank you the whole experience of the course has changed my life (Iknow that sounds very dramatic but its true).
