FORUM

It has always puzzled me why there are always so many “users” online ?
I know it is the best site on the web, but so many visitors ?

Well, I'm a rather new user, but, you will always find my status as "online."

I don't sign in/out for a forum like this.

Why, you may ask?

Because I'm not worried about someone sitting down at my computer, checking into this forum, and sell my whole collection for 15 pounds or something.

Point is, the "online" status may not reflect the actual amount of people currently on the forum.

P.S. How do you get the "pound" sign on a standard keyboard?

shift3 gives £ on mine.

I just press this button £
Look, there it goes again ££££££££

There we go "#" that's what I get.

I guess we yanks are pound poor.

Makes me feel a little like a Dickens character.

Don't some 'Yanks' call that symbol 'the pound sign', meaning a pound in weight?

Yes, we call it a "pound sign," but it also is shorthand for "number," as in "#3," which you would read as "number 3."

Example "John Smith, 2001 Blues Lane #3, Lakeside, New Jersey, 10441

That would read "unit 3" or "apartment number 3" etc.

How is John Smith keeping these days Walt? Him and me went to different schools together.

Some pointless stats. Only slightly more hits from UK than US.

I did not knew i was the only one from the netherlands

Wow, there are more page hits from Iran than Holland........maybe there is a love of historical machines there, unless some other odd content that gets picked up

There were 5,018 more hits (visits) from Holland than Iran, but the Iranians viewed 233 more unique pages. I can only guess their interest was less 'focussed'.
