Recently there have been some threads on nmp that are a joke. They seem to start off as a serious thread but obviously they are are a joke if you take the trouble to read them. I have great difficulty deciding whether a post is a joke or is 'serious'. I dont want to offend the posters but it would be helpful to me if they made this plain at the beginning of the post. If I am having difficulty then newbies must be finding this too. I want to reply to a post but then I realise that is is a joke I feel cheated. Thanks EJ.
