    Surely we have not evolved to one collective mind allready have we? We get enough of that on the Sci Fi channels. The Borg, Cybermen, Daleks, The Family, Zombies, even the cast of Home and Away occasionally have individual thoughts. Surely as Land Rover owners we can too?

    Fellow members, in the real world we are all individuals, some say Tom-atto others say Tom-arto, others say that red crap tastes like $***.

    Instead of x2, x3 or x144, why not use words in your posts. Surely if you reading a thread and posting in a thread your not that pressed for time?

    Reminds me of the Monty Python sketch where the guy goes to the ministry to buy an argument. No he doesn't. Yes he does. That's not an argument that's a contradiction. No it's not..........................................
    Great sketch that one, as indeed most things on Monty Python were.

    BTW I like your chassis sitting on axle stands. I assume that is a work in progress.

    Whoever started the trend towards putting those miniature LRs as part of the signature should be congratulated.

    I often find it a very convenient way of checking to see what sort of vehicle someone owns. It's handy if I want to check whether a comment someone makes about a feature or a problem with their vehicle also applies to mine.

    Apart from that I just think they look great.

    But why use words when someone has already said exactly what you are thinking?

    I've had a good think about this because I've realised I've done this twice. Haven't you ever in a coversation with someone say, particularly if you are excited or animated, "That's exactly what I was going to say!"?

    I think I noticed it a few times and thought, "Very succinct". Perhaps it's an age-related thing - after all I am Gen X

    1. There are some people on this forum who have a reputation for offering good, reliable, accurate information.

    3. There are some people who seem to be always online regardless of the time of day or night and who seem to have plenty of time to offer a comment on any subject.
    4. There are some people whose lives are so busy or who are expected to offer help to everyone who has a problem that their contributions are sometimes quite short simply because they have so many to respond to.
    I can easily imagine a situation where I would appreciate a "x2" post from someone.

    If I asked a question and got a response from a Type 2, I would then find it very reassuring to get a "x2" from a person who was both a Type 1 and Type 4.

    I wouldn't expect anything else if all that was needed was confirmation from someone who was generally regarded as a very reliable source.
