	I was with Saga when I got to that age only because that came up the cheapest...following year insurance shot up did the confused dot com or compare the market and RAC was best so used them....this time RAC tried to double my insurance and after going back to the compare site Saga was the best again. Not that I have car insurance anymore :-( but I would always use a camparison site before I would except the quote given. I dont think there is any such thing as a loyalty discount these days ja...x

	Today, for a change, you're in the wrong part of Canada, Sylvia. Here in Eastern Ontario it's 24 degrees, brilliant sunshine all day. Shorts & T-shirt weather. Yet 1 week and 2 days ago we were snowed in, couldn't get out of our driveway. Only in Canada!

	I don't remember seeing you on here before Margee !! - Correct me if I am wrong :-D However, you are VERY welcome! Glad you got the good weather today - I could do with some of that! Dea Xxx

	You're not wrong, Dea. I haven't participated before. I swore I'd never be a part of this silly thread. It's not really doing the job that it was intended for, is it? I think there are just as many duplicate rquests for the same family as there were before. But then I thought "What the heck, if you can't beat them, join them!"

	That's the idea Margee, The initial and main intention was to get an important message across and to keep it at the top of the board but you are right, the problem strill exists. Hoewever, in trying to achieve this, we have built up quite a friendly little community here and we do tend to give support to each other when needed. - whether on genealogy matters or personal things. We are a mad lot but don't bite :-D Everyone is welcome! Dea Xxx

	There's been a lot of irrational RR'ing on General Chat the last few days. This has led to lots of protests by affected people, on this site and on FB. This was posted on a thread by MildredHonkinsin earlier today ........ not sure if you have seen it, so c&p'ing it. ------------- Hi everyone, I would just like to assure you all that we are taking this matter very seriously. As you know, we were experiencing unwarranted RR's only a week ago and once we had identified the member responsible, banned them from the site. However, it is possible that they have re-registered. We are looking into ways that we can stop this from happening. Only allowing paid members to RR is an option that we are considering. As soon as a post is RR'd, it is removed from the boards. This logic was implemented on the advice of our members as some abusive posts or posts with personal details in were not being removed quickly enough. Obviously, because of the behaviour of possibly one or a small handful of members, we will now have to rethink this logic. I apologise profusely for any distress or inconvenience this has caused to those being RR'd. Please can I ask for your patience whilst we identify and implement the best solution to stop this happening in the future. It is very upsetting for those being targeted, but please rest assured that we will be taking action against those responsible. Thanks Katie ------------------ FINALLY!

	It was nice to hear from a new contributor....but it’s not a 'silly' thread ..........it gets people through lots of hard times, as well as making a point......but we can’t change the world, I know that!
