Katherine would you *please* stop appending each and every post you write with "....."?

Your sentences are just that. A single full stop is sufficient.

I've always thought that ending a sentence with "....." encourages a response. A full stop seems so closed and austere!

The Internet Cafe provides visitors with 30 minutes' free Internet use....


Not my point...how much are they paying for this thing? If it's free then people don't give a toss whether it's the BBC or Live TV. Just seems like a very silly thing to do considering that many people these days are now online and an increasing number of libraries will provide access for free or a nominal fee.

Its a function of conversation to close your sentence in order for the next person to step in. Trailing off makes it seem like you aren't finished, and jars a bit.

Most everything you write is read and responded to, Kat; so you needn't worry about that.

Don't know the costs exactly, but they also run computing/IT/other courses in the Open centre too.

Thanks Kat for reporting me to the mods! It's just great to know that I actually get under your skin. I feel it's just retribution for all the forumers you have got banned with your infantile defensive stand of the BBC, Paul Hudson and the other highly paid bunch of lardies at BBC Yorkshire and Lincolnshire (a.k.a just past Garforth and Heddon). I wouldn't mind, but by your own admission, you don't compare the programme to any of the ITV1 rivals.

For the second part of my message that offended you (actually was anybody else offended?) I think this proof that you take this computer forum and the BBC just toooooooo seriously. As I said, why don't you get a job? Not a slant, just a suggestion.

Huddy, I'm sick of you being so mean to Katherine, she is a very nice lady and people like you just really make me angry, I would appreciate it if you could stop being hostile towards Katherine. She has already had enough of this sort of attitude from previous members and don't become another in the line of banned members because you have been mean towards Katherine.

You're welcome - I'm always keen to use the correct procedures to deal with grievances.

You might like to think why the Rolling Eyes was at the end. I think you'll find I don't always tow the line...
