    Thanks for all your hard work, Gareth. With that sort of time commitment, I'm not surprised you felt the need to step down. It sounds positively punishing. Wouldn't the 'powers that be' be better off enabling six trustworthy bods to do 30 mins each than one do three hours, if that sort of dedication is required? What actually takes three hours, I wonder? Would an extensive list of FAQs cut down on enquiries, perhaps?

    I think another book on mods (this time of the BBS kind) should be forthcoming.

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    Just to echo everyone else, thank you for giving up your time to do a quite frankly thankless task

    Hi Gareth

    I'd just like to say thanks, you've been a brilliant mod on here, in fact, the epitome of fairness mate, it's often a thankless job but then you're an all round good egg and handled everything superbly


    Enjoy the rest from being on the other side of the fence Gareth



    Cheers, John

    Many thanks and a big well done for the service given to the BBS in the past !
    I've always been impressed with your attitude of "fairness" along the way and the odd time we have communicated has been a pleasure !

    Have a well deserved rest Mate !

    ATB,

    John.

    Three hours a day. I'm lucky to find three minutes spare in one sitting.

    Thanks for your time and effort mate. Enjoy your new found free time.

    Poor excuse Alistair

    Anyway if I'm not mistaken I'm damn sure it was Gareth who got the collectors section up and running, so we all owe him a big thankyou for that as well as guarding it.

    I wish you all the luck in your retirement.
