But i don't like using big words i just get right to the point.

That's the problem: 9 out of 10 times, you DO NOT HAVE a point.

... It is an open disscusion isn't it? There is no such wording in the Forum rules, were you have to wiat your turn to post somthing. If there is, then I'm proven wrong, but the way I see it, its just a "boy scout honor" thing....

When you are in a queue, there's no rule, no article of law in any juridical system in the world that say you must wait for your turn. Nonetheless, you wait and you do not step forward, taking another guy's place. Why? Because there's an unwritten rule, something upon which people have agreed that forces you to respect the queue. In that thread, the majority of the participants have agreed on using a certain order in posting the planes. If you don't agree, you can do what you want, but you have to expect a reaction from the majority that set the unwritten rule, just as it would be if you tried to bypass someone in the queue.

He hasn't broken any rule that I can think of either. Send a link maybe?

Since you asked, just by a quick glance at the forum rules, posted in top of any threads lists of this BBS:

2- Threads should remain on topic, do not "hijack" topics. (arguable, maybe, but a great deal of his posts could go into this category)

10- Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstance.

14- Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing". That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large, small or coloured text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts.

You should even make posts that are relevant to the thread topic not to break rules #2 and 10 (irrelevant posts may be considered spam) and learn to spell correctly to fully respect rule #14. Don't you guys find irritating and offensive that a foreigner like me can spell better than, at least, 80 % of the people of you mother tongue guys?

Good! :)

Now, since it's 2 AM and I must get up in less than 6 hours... it's better if I go to bed!

Good night all!

Four pages and you still haven't posted a picture. The thread was started so you could post all the pictures you want to, so post away.
