Thats all I/We can ask for Fair enough Thank you Admin
(still think the eamonn fitz stuff was good copy tho lads! :) )
ps - for what its worth, I have been here all that time as u said, and despite a 9 month hiatus in .....cough.....Japan......I am still here, so ye must be doing something right :)
I rarely post here now, mainly due to the fickleness of the moderators, I will be the first to acknowledge that a lot of my posts are personal but only a proportionate riposte to what had been allowed to be posted in the first instance by other posters, again that would be my view and obviously it would be biased. I know the mods have a thankless job but what irks me is the inconsistency of regulation, certain posters appear to be able to post with out impunity and this is wrong, this is what grates fellow posters, all we want is a level playing field, thank you.
Replying To Administrator: "Right friends. We gave this thread the go ahead out of respect for Liam who has been involved, practically from day one of these boards. Things aint easy in life. There are solicitors out there who would love to earn a bob from somebody saying the wrong thing. Hence why we moderate and three or four people perform this role. They have their own individual views and in general we try to encourage this individualism. Basically we are a publishing house, we produce a number of monthly, bi-monthly and yearly magazines/books. Also run a variety of websites and if truth be told the lack of a letters section on Hoganstand.com would be no great loss to us, certainly our accountant would be happy with its dis-appearance. But we get a certain kick of performing this duty and will continue to do so. Without sounding like a Sunday preacher could I just drop the following hints, items which the administrators frequently encounter. People in general think that they and they only are always completely correct. Some threads often go in a different direction from the designated subject. People are often hurt about about letter content, a fact that the writer can be oblivious to. Threads are often commenced when a very similar thread already exists. Some writers try to post absolute nonsense. Too many personal attacks on other writers. Lately we have extended our cut off time to way beyond 10pm. Perhaps it is people arriving home late from the pub but the garbage posted can sometimes be beyond belief. One writer and yes he has contributed to this debate continually sends in each message not once but in thrice format . Often a person and it could be a manager or player etc etc requests that an individual letter or thread is removed. If the person has a valid point and is courteous on the matter we generally oblige. Just some of the events in the day of an administrator. Please be a little understanding. We still take 3 to 4,000 letters a week and simply would not be able to commence a reply method. Anyway we have given you a say and this thread closes at 5pm. Slan Head administrator."
Just out of curiosity lads, do you post yourselves? NOPE
