(POlitely asks) is there any chance people could use archived search a bit more?

[lowcalCOD]

as we are having a lot of new threads that are already covered at length ( baby pasta spring sot mind)

calm down coddy! You can come across as quite abrupt at times and that might put some people off (those who don't know your loveable cuddly side I mean)

I for one love Coddy's posts .. even the ones I can't actually decipher and the ones I don't agree with

I find it interesting though how come some people, and it tends to be those who evoke the 'this isn't in the spirit of mumsnet' comments seem to think that Coddy isn't a real person and can say whatever the hell they like to her, or about her

What makes you think she has a hide like a rhino?

She started a perfectly polite thread with a request and it was up for discussion .. 'cos this is a bloody discussion board

FFS .. its a DISCUSSION BOARD .. give her a break

Surely if you give it out you should be able to take it though?

Cod, come on you know the drill, everyone wants their say and not everyone likes everyone else's opinions. I think people are having a laugh and aren't necessarily being snidey.

Sorry your boys are poorly, it's hard work when they are ill isn't it. Don't take it to heart and start swearing at us!! We all enjoy mumsnet and don't want to row.

Absolutely Twiglett, an excellent post.

if "giving it out" is being snidey and bitchy bankok - she doesn't! She's just doesn't mince her words and is to the point - NOT the same thing at all

lou33, are you a moderator here ? Thanks, I will drop the contactus a message.

One of the benefits (which might be important to the site owners, depending on $$$) is that bandwidth and server load are reduced.

I don't spend much time on forums, but hitting the refresh key excitedly to see if someone has updated a thread must hit the bottom line...

That's me told!

OMG!!!

Only went out for an hour and half and look at this.

Calm down everyone.

Let's all agree to disagree, when necessary, and just get on with using Mn in any way we each like.
