I spoke to Simon about creating the "Was it you" forum, and how I thought it would be a good idea. He set it up and made me the Moderator.


Please, don't mention the initiation

You become merged as one into ScoobyNet

Seriously we are here to keep an eye on things and make sure they dont go out of hand. And contrary to popular belief most of us do actually have lives! ( shocking yes I know! and I say most as there is always one exception isn't that right Little Miss WRX )

That might be one way in but usually, people ask you out of the blue. The people that seem to want it the most don't seem to get it (which is probably a good thing (apart from Michelle who has no life so is always round to keep an eye on things ).

Now if we could only arrange the election of MPs on the same basis
