Delivering my first course starting Monday. A bit bloody stressed really.
Have been working on my serious face all week. Have it down now. My contemplative walk and barely audible mumble still need works though. Thinking of buying pipe and getting someone to knit me jumper. Would that be too much ??

Jokes aside, I'm not sure what type of teaching persona to adopt. All I have so far is "Never smile."

Post this kind of stuff in the Tr(*)mpet. It's not rugby related.

You realize of course SB that given your vote, a response on the Plum posting breaks your own rule. Is that really where you want to be? With respect, to quote Tokkie, shouldn't you rephrase?

@Mozart- at no point have I suggested that the banter, slander and arguments must stop.
Instead, it is merely about the categorization of content, which will give more space on the landing page covering rugby for new visitors.
It would not be a very good landing page for new visitors to the board- if it does not focus on the topic of rugby. I can't prove this because I do not have access to the website's Google Ana-lytics account. however the y could see Beanos end of the world rantings-).
However, it is clear that the website has been ordered with three categories which suggest the intent. Is it even a decision that can be voted on?

Well how would you classify Plum's posting that you responded to....Urinal has already said it doesn't fit.

Plum, I suggest Kramer's Dr Martin Van Nostrand persona. What could possibly go wrong?

"break a leg, or better yet your typing hand..."
What i take from this is that you type with one hand.
Is the other hand too busy being dragged kn uckles down on the floor behind you?

Rooi
No offence but until instructed to do otherwise by whoever runs this site I'll probably continue posting here. I respect the village debate but no consensus has emerged, neither has any word from on high.
And I think Moz's point about is valid. How does one divide up all the posts and comments? The board would have to be unnecessarily strict.
Even huge forums like Reddit don't impose such rules. Obviously over there your posts can be downvoted and thus not read, initially you can post any topic in any section.
Let's assume that we are told to keep posts separated. Who'll police it? What are the consequences for not following the rules? Who decides all this?
