  okay i figured it was time to "widen out" cybernetically speaking.

  i am inactive now but have 28 years of jw experience, including bethel, ivcw, pioneering, eldering in spanish congregations, and "need greater" (unofficial missionary) time in paraguay (the country's only german-speaking group) and in dominican republic.. now that i've established my rather impressive credentials, allow me to bestow the formal vulcan benediction to all (if i can do it right).. <img src=" http://www.egreetings.com/e-products/m_postreply/card_gif/epgi1400.gif"&gt;

  Hi Spock..nice to meet you. You sound like you've given some serious time to the WTS - I hope things are going well for you now.
  Look forward to hearing your experiences.

  I've got an easy get-out off that one

  you've got to lead the way with the young men around here!!

  I just claim that I'm not young anymore
  Do they still make Terry's All Gold chocolates? That way it's like giving chocolate AND gold at the same time...and at a fraction of the price!
  I can't afford to buy one piece from there, never mind something for everyone! The stuff they do is really amazing though...all the top Footballers and TV stars over here shop there - they are not the normal 'trinkets' that I can buy anytime soone though.
  It's a good idea though rewarding all the 'charter members' somehow...I'm hoping to develop this forum software into a commercial app and a lot of you have been helpful and patient while I've ironed out a few bugs (didi you know you were beta testers ?). I'll see what i can come up with (don't like 'plan retirements' on it or anything like that though - I work slow and it will probably be some Amazon vouchers or something like that)

  I'm already regretting this...my supply of chocolates has dried up for a start.
  And will you quit with the Gold and Diamonds !!
  I've been working on a web site for a local jewellers ([url= http://www.hhjewellers.com]Click Here[/url]) and she's already eyed up some nice stuff. Gulp

  [>:(] RedHorseWoman - what are you trying to do to me, LOL !
  I bought her a big box of belgium chocolates today so I can claim it was those - nah nah !
  BTW: Don't believe her if she tells you I bought them for myself...or ate most of them myself...or, OK, OK, I'll buy her something else - Doh !

  Yes, the danger is it allows people to post ANY image and some could abuse this. We don't want any porn popping up (although I wouldn't object to the odd 'playboy' type piccy )

  I've edited the link.
  Out of interest, would people prefer to link to images or have them appear in the actual forum page?
