Hi Graham, I\'ve just copied the most recent exchange of posts to here, so as not to hi-jack Patrick\'s thread! I\'ll ask a mod to delete them from the original thread.

Best regards, SP

Hello again Graham, I did indeed find your message (obviously!), thank you. . When you post a message, either here or in the BBC forum, if you would like to know when someone replies to it, you can click on \"subscribe to this thread\" at the top of the page and you will receive an e-mail when anyone else posts in the same thread (you can then \"unsubsribe\" any time you like). (In contrast, when you post in php forums, like the Scottish forum or the CPDN \"Oxford boards\", you are automatically \"subscribed\" to that thread unless you choose not to be.)

Re \"the correct way to reply\" - you were perhaps caught out (as I have often been) by the positioning of \"Reply to this post\" - you use the one below the post you\'re replying to, rather than the one above. By the way, this automatically means that the text of the post you\'re replying to is repeated - if you don\'t want to do that, you can select \"Reply to this thread\" at the top of the page instead!

There\'s no way of telling whether Patrick from Switzerland has seen the various replies people made to his message, but you can find all his posts (he\'s currently only made two) by clicking on his name to the left of his message, then clicking on the number shown against \"message board posts\" in his details.

I am sorry you didn\'t know all those stats existed, particularly as you\'ve been a member of team Scotland for a while now and we have particularly good team stats, thanks to the wonderful Iain Inglis. You might like to take a look at them in more detail - the team stats home page is here and, if you click on \"Member Credit\" in the menu, you\'ll find a list of members arranged in order of their current lead model - but you can sort it in various ways by clicking on the relevant column heading, and you\'ll find you\'re very high up the lists of completed models, total credits and model years \"crunched\" - you used to be high in RAC (recent average credit) order too but of course (like our other top \"crunchers\"), your BBC RAC is now dropping as your CPDN RAC increases. As mentioned in my earlier post, Iain hopes to find time to produce similar stats pages for CPDN at some point (which will be a great relief to me - but hey no pressure, Iain, really!

Thank you for info about the super photo in your profile - I should have recognised the distinctive pyramidal shape of Buachaille Etive Mor (the big shepherd of Etive) but the water confused me - presumably it\'s the river Etive rather than a loch, looks like the photographer was standing in the middle of it!

You can certainly e-mail me the other photos in the set if you like (I\'ll e-mail you my e-address rather than posting it here) but I hope you\'ll consider joining the Scottish forum and posting them there? It\'s a nice friendly place, I\'m sure you would find the company congenial, other members of the team would like to meet you, and everyone likes to see good photographs, especially of Scotland. (I surmise that you must at least visit the forum sometimes because I\'m pretty sure that\'s the only place where I\'ve recently posted anything about golf! My primary interest in the Strathpeffer golf course is that it\'s very scenic and a great place for a walk, preferably with a camera!) If you do drop in there from time to time, I hope you saw the place where we celebrated your 3rd and 4th BBC models?

Best regards, SP (as I seem to have been dubbed in the various climate change forums - quicker to type than Strathpeffer Pavilion!)

Hello Margaret (I don\'t think I\'d like to refer to you as \"SP\")!

Thanks again for your last reply, and of course all the very useful links you supplied. I was especially pleased to learn of your celebration of me uploading my \"twins\"; perhaps in the not so distant future CPUs will have four cores (my present one is duel-core), the maybe I\'ll be able to have \"quads\", even though it may be painful!

I have since visited the Strathpeffer Pavilion (I was surprised at only a single \"l\" being used), and tried to sign the guest-book, and I have of course made reference to you, so please look out for it.

My latest set of \"twins\" are both now at the 6%+ stage, and everything is going well, although I have no idea what the \'gestation period\' will be.

Best regards!

Graham.

[quote]You\'re popping up everywhere today, Graham - I did find your message in the Pavilion website guestbook and have already posted a reply to that! Lots of people try spelling Pavilion with two \"els\", but ours has only one for some reason (Brighton Pavilion\'s the same).

Glad you enjoyed the team\'s celebration of your \"twin\" models - \"quads\" would be really something!

I\'m really quite happy being known as SP in the various climate forums, everyone does it.

Best regards,[quote]
