Ah, you're a turrible hard bunch to please, the lot of ye... the place
bit's not interesting enough, the loose history's too ... historical,
there's too much autobiography, there's not enough *joy* etc... What d'ye
think this is, the entertainment channel? If you don't like any of the
threads on offer, heavenssakes, start one you *do* like! There's enough
scope...
Not but what I don't agree with some of Chris's judgements (so... you
won't be recommending the restaurant to your friends then, Mr Goode?): not
enough TEXTS (I note that I didn't back up my post on Geraldine with a
quote, tho I could've done) too much ANECDOTE (and indeed, I caught myself
repeating myself. and indeed, I caught myself repeating myself, thanks to
all those who kindly pointed it out to me...) etc. Mea Culpa.
But from the number of people who contributed to the Place thread BEFORE
it nosedived into Amateur Motorist, and the backchannel comments I've had
on it, and the few messages beginning "I like this thread" etc, I'd be
reluctant to consign it to the scrapheap yet. And if anyone comes with an
idea for another "subject" to be thus presented, I'll be happy to listen
to them. With no illusions that everyone'll like it.
