People ask for advice on the GN forum, you give advice, it’s ignored until one of the chosen few give the same advice, also there appear to be the chosen ones who have been out of the technological loop for some time who keep giving the same advice on things that they did 10-20 years ago. FMD, things change. You're on to it Rod! When I first joined GN and started posting indesputable facts about weights etc I was attacked from all directions by some of the "chosen few". Many posts were little more than insults in an apparent effort to get me to retaliate, but I ignored these people, happy in the knowledge that ignorance seemed to be their biggest asset. However, I persisted and eventually many of these people began to see see the light, eventually realising that, with weights etc, I know what I'm talking about, and agreeing with me. Some were possibly a little embarassed because I regularly got PMs asking for even more advice, with several members saying that they simply couldn't cope with my good advice being disputed on the open forum by those who only think they know stuff, but clearly know little. There was one member who was forever waffling-on about how to set up one of the vastly over-rated WDH systems, with his method involving the use of a tape measure! Spare me. There are so many variables in correctly setting a WDH up that anyone who advises the use of a tape measure is waaaay out of his depth, with that suggested method totally useless, even 10-20 years ago. This fella, to his credit, did eventually agree that a WDH does NOT change towball weight. Never has, Never will. Over the time I was a GN member I spent countless hours helping fellow members, even travelling to visit them at their homes to correctly set-up their vans, but when I simply re-posted a no-nonsense video clearly outlining the stupidity and futility of Australia spending BILLIONS of dollars in a vain attempt to change what is no more than a natural event that has recurred over millions of years, I had my account deleted. Only the brain-dead would not understand the absolute stupidity of Australia closing a miserable couple of coal-fired power stations whilst exporting MILLIONS of tons of coal to China, a country where there are 2 NEW POWER STATIONS being built EVERY WEEK. Derrrr!

Post this one there and see what they say :)
-----
A Muslim dies and finds himself before the Pearly Gates:
He is very excited, as all his life he has longed to meet the Prophet Mohammed.
Having arrived at the Gates of Heaven, he meets a man with a beard.
"Are you Mohammed?" he asks.
"No, my son. I am Peter. Mohammed is higher up." And he points to a ladder that rises into the clouds.
Delighted that Mohammed should be higher than Peter, he climbs the ladder in great strides, climbs through the clouds, coming to a room where he meets another bearded man.
He asks again, "Are you Mohammed?"
"No, I am Moses. Mohammed is higher still."
Exhausted, but with a heart full of joy he continues to climb the ladder and, yet again, he discovers an even larger room where he meets another man with a beard.
Full of hope, he asks again, "Are you Mohammed?"
"No, I am Jesus... You will find Mohammed higher up."
Mohammed higher than Jesus!
The poor man can hardly contain his delight and climbs and climbs, ever higher.
Once again he reaches a larger room where he meets a man with a beard and repeats his question:
"Are you Mohammed?" he gasps as he is, by now, totally out of breath from all his climbing.
"No my son.....I am God. But you look exhausted. Would you like a coffee?"
"Yes, please!" said the man.
God looks behind him, claps his hands and calls out:
"Hey Mohammed, two coffees!"

Just posted some Far Side on GN Jokes. Will it remain? Will I upset people? So many questions. I am not sure what gave me the greater amusement .... the Far Side jokes or what the reaction of Grahos (the complainer) would be.
On a whim I checked his profile. ALL the posts visible were in Just Joking. One of them was responding to another god joke and he thought that one was amusing.

Don’t know enough about WDH. I get a bit annoyed at people who try to dictate their wowser beliefs on others, FFS, it was just a joke and I’d never seen it before plus was a very good play on words. Maybe the complainer isn’t well enough educated to understand word play.

(Answer) Don’t know enough about WDH.
In that case you would get along fine.
Just to be sure, I was referring to the subject of this thread.
