I suppose, I personally like to know that there may be folk out there who may be thinking along the same lines as myself when I initiate a thread.
And I suppose, I (usually) enjoy the conversation with other minds, who maybe thinking about similar subjects.
But the reality is, there is no competition leading to a prize, as a result of the perceived success or failure of a thread, based on popularity measures.
Once an initial post is 'out there', we should acknowledge that we no longer 'own' it, (it in fact, belongs to IIS as a contribution from its members), nor can we be entirely directly responsible for managing the direction it takes, once published.
This is what the moderators are there for, isn't it ?
This would be a good topic for a new thread, as I am fairly sure there are many views to be voiced about it.
In this case, I for one, have total respect for Suzy's quest and I'm totally in support of it, (as I suspect, are all of my fellow 'teasers' .. why wouldn't we be ?). I also see that any 'banter', actually contributes to building awareness of her quest, thereby building support for the exercise.
Cheers & Rgds

You Don't get it?
Sure you don't
You three guys have highjacked this thread and made a mockery of it
If you want to Rubbish Brian Cox start your own b***** thread.
Have you noticed that only a couple of people have contributed since you have started your rubbish.
You guys have been rubbishing Brian Cox for weeks , which is now boardering on the ridiculous
Leave the thread for what it was meant to do, A request to see if people wanted Brian Cox on iceinspace , not a thread to see who can make the smartest comment or post the funniest video.
Craig I don't give a hoot how many hits I get on my post
But you seem to think that you can just sit on here and criticize and make smart comments.
Suzy deserves more respect for her thread than you guys are dishing up.
Cheers
