    I have been reading for a couple of weeks now and decided to join to ask a question.
    A picture has formed in my head of mostly male posters split into those close to retirement and twenty some things from a middle class backround.

    Lastly I have this picture of most posters being in Dublin and surrounding areas.
    Am I judging a book by its cover like the other half says?

    Asl?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I don't think you're judging the book by its cover I think you're trying to get a mental picture of the cover from reading random parts of a book written by lots of different people covering lots of different topics.

    In other words OP, you're wasting your time.

    Ireland's small, plenty of reason to nuke the account every so often. It's very easy to reveal a lot of personal info just incidentally. The net works best anonymously, judge by content, not user name.
