An observation/introduction

[Mustardmit]

I've only been posting here for a short while, initially I thought it was simply a question/answer forum but realised there is a bit more to it than that.
Out of fascination from what I've been reading, I've allowed myself to get embroiled in a few heated discussions and possibly made a tit of myself once or twice (I'm not used to places like this).
I have been trying to feel my way around and get the 'jist' of the way this place runs. There does seem to be some sort of 'clique' for want of a better word. Do you guys organise 'meets'? - this SOOOO much reminds me of my old CB radio days !
Anyway, there doesn't seem to be any organised structure or moderators at hand on the part of the community centred around Chatterbank so I'll introduce myself:
Hello, I am "Mustardmit" (I would prefer to give my real name but I think it's forbidden) I am a musician and music teacher, I live near London and I LOVE helping people with their unanswered questions (if I can) I'll do me best to 'play ball'. I like to think of myself as a humanitarian despite the fact that I can fly off the handle now and then -I mean well. Don't do very well with 'subterfuge' and in-house politics so excuse me if I funk up every now and then.
You're probably bored by now (if you've read this far) so I'll shut up :-)

I might just have to make a cherry pie now, with custard !

Did you have to go and mention Cherry pie??

[yogi-bear]

Happy New Years to you too, Vibes, my mate..... Hope you're chilled. :0)

[mccfluff]

Mustardmit welcome to the crazy, weird and downright dysfunctional world that is CB (AB is sane by comparison!)
We have despatched your protective/bulletproof clothing,your rifel(for sniping) and your helmet with the CB logo by 2nd class post today.
You will need the helmet if you intend to put your head above the parapet,gun for sniping back at trolls and others,and protective clothing to prevent a damaged ego!
Please don't let the above put you off of posting,remember every post on CB is another sandbag against aggressive/troll posters.
An Emergency Nurse is available 24/7 on CB,but she is a pain in the elbow!

A first aid box can be found at the bottom of this post,if you cannot find it that means to many sticking plasters for the heart have been used.

PS:~
Diagnonsis of a damaged Ego means that at least you have got one.
Some CBer's appear to have had an Ego removal operation! LOL

"Except....the so called 'clique' is not really a clique. It's just a bunch of people familiar with each other. "

Hi Ummmmmy! none could have said it better. :-)

[Mustardmit]

Thanks for the kind responses -I particularly like the one from Mr Veritas :-) And thanks for putting me straight on the clique thing.

All the best
