for instance.....

Forumite (pick one)...oh dear...i so want to do next years 3Peaks. but i dont know when the entry form will be available.....how will i find out

some time later after the Forumite has thought through their options

Forumite..I know... there is an official 3Peaks website which has all the information on. i will have a look on that....damn..the entry info isnt there.....BUT there is some information that says "All enquiries regarding entries should be made to Bryan Speight email: [email protected]" ....Great... i think i will ask on the forum instead

some time later after the Forumite has engaged in some, at times, abusive posting, he decides to email the race organiser

Forumite..Hi Mr race organiser..when can i get an entry form for next years 3Peaks

Organiser....F**K me your a bit keen aren't you.. its 6 months 'till the next race....dont you ever read the FRA Forum
I'm not idle, well not all the time anyway, but as a newbie I sometimes find asking questions like this are a good way to get chatting and to get to know people on the forum. Bit like chatting to strangers at a race etc - you sometimes ask a pretty dumb question just to get a conversation started.
