Why don't some people use the reply and quote buttons? Is it the new fad or 'in' thing to not quote or reply to posts when addressing what someone said? Not complaining, I just see perfectly good buttons not being utilized to there fullest and I'm having a hard time understanding why. Could it be people trying to save server space by not quoting? And why are most people that do this from the UK? Is the use of quotes discouraged in the UK? LOL Sometimes a reply is so obvious that there's really no need to use the reply or quote buttons. But I'm seeing some people avoid them like the plague. Cause they expect the mods to delete the post and then they go away for hitting the reply button ... What Mods and buttons?

I don't worry ;) Yes, the problem the airlines have is that it is far too disruptive to keep rescheduling flights to pick up those that are stranded, so those people will either have to wait for empty places on future flights or find their own way back - my Dad is still amongst the stranded! The volcano continues to belch out steam & ash even now! ID: 990870 ·

Six days ago it was the "wrong kind of ash" and that would damage the turbine blades in a jet engine's combustion side and beyond. This was due to the combustion temperatures of 1100+c melting the glass and silica, which goes in to a sticky phase and coats turbine blades. This changes the aerofoil shape of those blades and wrecks engine performance, efficiency, etc. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues ID: 990877 ·

Me I have to buy a new drip coffee maker on the 1st(current one leaks water out of the bottom), 9 days without coffee :(, Tea from now till I get the new one... I'm looking at a 12 cup Mr Coffee Drip Coffee Maker, Any preferences? Something inexpensive, that can stand hard water.
