    It will make zero difference to my life. I'm not on Twitter, FB or any other social media platform. I value my privacy. And my only interest in Musk, is wondering how such a complete duck got to be so rich! :confused:

      Awesome, just hope he's able to do what he says/wants to do with it!

      And what's that? Yeah I know I could google it, but as I don't care a heck about twitter, I haven't documented me yet in the topic (and I don't think I will)

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                            CP can do what they like, I don't care. And I'm no spammer, thank you very much. I've been on here for several years and I don't need the likes of you to tell me what to do. You might not be aware of me because I'm not usually active in the lounge, but that's your problem, not mine. I've even contributed a couple of articles, if you had taken the trouble to look, although I'm not particularly proud of EZUTF. My coding skills have improved significantly since then. Paul Sanders http://www.alpinesoft.co.uk "Life is a minestrone" - sure, but what does that actually mean? Oh wait, I've got it. It means it's full of different bits and you have to savour them all. And so you do.

                                          OK, there might be something in that, but those are extremes, that's not what the movement is really about. And to lump BLM into the same category does not sit well with me. Paul Sanders http://www.alpinesoft.co.uk "Life is a minestrone" - sure thing, but what does that actually mean?
