Welcome to the forum.
Thank you.

We chose to have this sticky thread for questions rather than a FAQ list because lists , by their nature, get bland, boring and repetitive. You end up with a list of the same questions being asked in different ways.
We find the thread answers mosts questions in an interesting way. New visitors learn about the parties as they read and if someone cant find an answer, they can add to the thread.
A fair point. Certainly I found that reading the posts, whilst time consuming, was fun as well as informative. I now for example at least know some of the code words around here: I am looking forward to some “branded confectionery on a stick”.

I agree with you that the community on here is totally biased. Some regulars are here so often I am receiving their re directed mail whilst others bring their favorite PINK Pillow to snuggle up to.
Pink you say? With frills?

However, rather that take their views with a pinch of salt, newbies should ask themselves why they have become regulars and why they contribute to the forum.
Have done - that’s why I’m coming along. I used the word “bias”, but I really meant “self selecting sample” (sorry - I’m a scientist). I was attempting to explain why a (for now) outsider like me would list external reviews above internal ones in terms of reasons for coming.

We look forward to hearing from you in the new year and seeing you at a party where no doubt you will bump into someone from off here.
Trust me - I am looking forward to it.
BTW - how does one identify others “from off here”? Arrange to wear a carnation on the nob? Maybe I should just stick to saying hello…
