This usually happens at this time of year and around New Years. Even
though the threads become longwinded it helps us to take stock of the
past 6 months or so and clean out the cobwebs so to speak.
Another good thing is that these discussions usually get a large
response from people who would otherwise feel out of their depth
technically but still want to join in the party. Which is a Good Thing (tm).
Maybe you're not in a summer climate at the mo but a lot of us round

testy replies. It seems to be the same for others also :)
