This board will be lightly moderated. You may talk about almost anything here, but it would be nice if subjects were vaguely language-related.
The only requirement is to be respectful of each other's opinions, even (or especially) when they are clearly bonkers.

And, if a lot of the posts on the APS forum are anything to go by, you can leave out even(or especially) from that sentence. ;D

Here be I, too. I hope this board goes as well - even better - than the APS board has to date. As I am not fond of being dictated to, this just might become my new virtual home for language discussions.
Well done, Paul - and thank you! :-)

This seems an appropriate thread in which to ask how I can up-load a picture as some of you appear to have done.

Pete, you have to upload it to another site like www.flickr.com or www.photobucket.com or somesuch, and then you stick its URL (complete with http:// at the start) in your profile. Or e-mail it to me at not-the-aps@pdoc.co.uk and I'll do it for you. It needs to be 100 pixels by 100 pixels or less.

Pete,
You need first to upload a picture to the net - you may have one there already that a URL can point to. Then go into your profile, and you'll see a section about 'avatar', and in that is a slot for a URL to your avatar. Paste in (including the http:// bit) the URL to the picture you want to use. Robert's your mother's brother.

Thanks for the advice, folks. I have emailed a picture to Paul.
