I paid my $25 on Jan 23th. When I joined this organization Ithought I would learn things. Even though I am learning things it's notquite what I expected. Since joining 19 days ago I have received about 100posts, of these, half of them have been the debate on the British/Americandefinition of words like yard, garden and their various forms. Are youkidding me? What a waste of space in this forum. When I leave my housewhether it's via the front door or the back door, I know where to find myyard, my garden and my flower beds. And I know what I want to do there whenI get there.If you want to carry on this British/ American English thing----Let startwith----What is Football? Then let's move to what is a boot or a bonnet or ahood or a trunk? The important thing is whether you are in the UK or theUSA when someone mentions these things to you-----YOU know what they aretalking about. The quality of the forums are going to have to improve considerably before Icome up with another $25 (that's American) next year.Respectfully submitted, Brad.
