Hi Ylva,
It's good to see you here. This forum is less "confrontational" - trying to think of the right word - than Indianz.com. I remember someone (think it was OPK actually) saying on here that you weren't going to post at Indianz at any more. That board goes through phases when it gets more aggressive, then it settles down again. I really like Indianz. But I think this one started with kind of self imposed guidelines that people disagree here, sometimes quite strongly, but it's not abusive and Sunny maintains a good atmosphere on the site. Being less public than Indianz, it's good to come here and relax.

We do have a slight problem with a thief unfortunately, this is a new development and a sad one. Crime coming to alt.ndnz - who would have thought it:( But someone in our midst is clearly a person who has no respect for the pantry. We hope that they will learn the error of their ways. OneidanewBoy is doing a great job of guarding the site, and ended up being accused himself! But eventually, the real culprit will be brought to book.
