Hi Richard.

People here for the most part are still very helpful and very kind. You will always get problems on every forum. Even the tightly kept ones.

On this forum, people do not have to register to make their comments. This then allows anybody to throw a spanner in the works whenever they wish, even registered members can log out and do the same. Or a visitor to jump in from nowhere and make a nasty comment and leave again.

Either way, this I believe is causing the most problems. If people were unable to get on here unless they registered, it maybe a different story. One is a little more hesistant to be so "free" with their comments when their IP address is available. The forum is open to anybody, and frankly I am quite amazed that it is as good as it is under those circumstances.

I try and ride the waves out and focus on the good. I'm sorry that it's put you off so much! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> But I understand your reasons. Sometimes it is hard not to retaliate and get involved! I'm guilty of that myself. Better often to ignore it and move on if one can.

Thanks to you and Ray for being upfront. And anybody else for doing the same in regards to dental experiences (good or bad). any info helps the rest of us make a more informed decision.
