observer1 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I know PMs were stopped for a while to prevent 'maximum' spamming. I now notice that one can use the facility only after one has 300 posts to their credit. Seeing that some of us are not as keyboard-intensive as others, cant thie minimum requirement be changed to a timeframe? Say, 4 months of membership? Or 3 months+50 posts?

Holysmoke Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 just my opinion.. but we'd rather have more people posting.. than those just lurking around 300 posts seems like a good cutoff... thats what i feel.. we need to encourage more posters as compared to silent readers..

Lurker Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Alternatively we can also have other posters "donating" some of their points toward someone they know. In this case it appears Dhondy is acquianted with Observer(correct me if I am wrong guys) and hence he can possibly donate some points/posts so that Observer is upto 500 limit. I beleive we used to have the system where users could donate points, is that still around Varun/Ravi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In return for a few of his millions, yes, why not. I am quite soft hearted in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhondy Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I went to Wrightington a while ago to attend a RCP meeting, and I kid you not, there was this well known orthopaedic surgeon sat on a stool, speaking casually on the hospital phone, ordering his next Jaguar.:haha: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer1 Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 It is a bloody awesome machine, Lurker, and Maseratis have always appealed to me - maybe it is the trident / trishul symbol - who knows! The problem they have is steep depreciation if you buy them new - and poor reliability if you buy them 2-3 years old. Stuffed both ways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhondy Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Not exactly. The last time the public here got to know that I had a license to practice, they begged the chancellor to levy 1 p on petrol so that I could be paid to stay at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Dollar is falling you can expect it to get down to 45-50 K by the end of the year I suppose. :sad_smile::sad_smile: Hang in there you may actually buy this puppy by the end of the year :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
