What thread topic goes where? A short guide!
You may have noticed a number of threads have been moved to other parts of D & G.
We've all got a bit lazy and getting subjects in innaproppriate forums.
Bear with us we have often have the same problem as you guys in deciding
Well it's spring and the traditional time for a clean up.
What can you do to help us keep your house clean and tidy.
1. Take the time to read the Ten Thingies again and reset your "mental" posting defaults.
You know what we mean.
2. D & G Reporting Points;
is not a dumping groound for every passing thought, we want to keep it clear for reporting and comment on new stuff and breaking rumour and news.. "Ansett, what made it a great airline" though germain and interesting does not qualify for there and perhaps should have gone straight to D & G Questions.
The other important point about that is that it keeps you moving around amongst the other Forums and you'll find things there you never imagined, although that is not the prime objective.
HM of you have had a cruise through the othe non D & G Forums, it's a wonderland of information views and new ideas out there. You might also find that the moderating here has been done with a fairly light rein.
3. D & G Aircrew Notices;
Fairly self explanatory, we think most professional pilots understand what to put there and where to go.
4. D & G General Aviation;
Is exactly what it says, a Forum to discuss issues specific to General Aviation.
It is NOT intended as means to separate the biggies from the littlies, but save both ends and the middle for having to trawl through endless posts to find, interesting as they may be, that they are not relevant to them.
Most people are still using dial up at home and on the move, that is time wasted, frustrating and expensive.
5. D & G Questions;
Basically anything that either has a WHY directly in it or the implication of.
I say again;
Bear with us we have often have the same problem as you guys in deciding
but at least have a bit of a think before you rush into print. 
As always your comments are welcome, but as usual we do reserve the right to make the rules.

Wwrrronggg, Buster!

But the first part of the title is in the form of a question. The second part is, granted, a statement however the point of the thread is to inform the forum members.
Putting it in D & G Aircrew Notices would defeat the purpose for which the thread was created. Besides....
Says it all really!!!!

But it's a rhetorical question, Buster - even though the Big W has answered it him/her/itself. The "it" self isn't meant in an offensive sort of way, but with so many Woomeri, one envisages some sort of Hydra, a 7-headed-serpent 
Now the question now arises, has Woomera placed THIS thread on the WRONG Bulletin Board?
.......or has he/she/it (the Hydra) done it for the SAME reason other posters put their topics here? That reason being, because THIS forum receives the MAXIMUM exposure and the most amount of traffic.
And IF that is the case, then a further question needs to be asked,
"WHO moderates the moderators?"

Well Kaptin, I must protest! I think the Woomeri do a sterling job & comparing them to a Hydra is anatomically incorrect. For starters, Hydras have no fingers to type with. This little Beastie...
is more likely as it has at least got some claws that could manipulate a keyboard...albeit a very large keyboard, but a keyboard nonetheless.
The wrong bulletin board you say! Perhaps, that started me wondering what other bulletin boards would a Woomera subscribe to? Dare I suggest some???

Hmm well one looks like my mother in law the other like her daughter. 
Hereby disqualified as a circular argument, bit like some of the other ones around here.
The reason THIS forum receives maximum exposure is because everybody dumps here, it's a self fulfilling prophecy.
Now if you're not careful I'll give my mother in law and her daughter both your email addys and you can deal with them instead. Neither takes prisoners!

Something tells me that dear old Woomera has finally flipped his lid!
My God, badmouthing the Mother-in-law is one thing; some would say that it's the accepted thing but also the Daughter???? (I assume you mean your nearest and dearest)
And how long have you had this death wish Woomera?
You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

A solution to the MIL problem is to marry a Walpiri (tribal lands centred roughly on Tanami desert/Lajamanu/Hooker Creek) woman.
As I understand it, a man is not permitted by tribal law, to have any contact with his Walpiri mother in law!

Wot's this???? The big W out on a night of general debauchery!! Cigarettes, whiskey and wild, wild women..... (would make a great song title...
)
I find that scenario a bit hard to imagine!

Oh deary me, has he gotten out again? My darling daughter must be sick with worry. He gets that way when he hides his pills under the aspidistra. It's such a chore to keep track of him.
Mind you, when he does take them he's a proper little lamb.
Come along now Jerricho, no more of your foolishness, back to Jetblast where the nice people don't mind you a bit.
.... everything under control Kaptin
