Glad you enjoyed it...

Yes -- just as I enjoyed it when I bought JT's 'Sweet Baby James' LP album in 1970 having first heard of Taylor when folksinger Tom Rush covered 2 of his songs on his 1968 album 'The Circle Game'

Then post your next best one.

 

People otherwise might come to the conclusion that your 40000 posts are nothing but drivel.

That one was too..... 

PS. If those 40,000 posts were drivel I for sure would not be in the finals, and coming second last year should help you along with your thought....(or perhaps not)...

[geronimo]

I'd like to ask the famous 5 what they actually get from the posting experience, if anything.

It has been noticed and passed on to the Tech team.

Presently showing 80 members voted but only 70 votes recorded.

Ron, nothing wrong with providing a regular leadership board to inform potential voters.

Very nice too! Do you need a gardener?

All I'm seeing is an inability to post a link to a cracking post.

 

We will just have to draw the conclusion that you don't have any to post.

Perhaps you should spend more time reading TVF during the year as the voters seem to have...

Are the Russians hacking this poll I demand a recount when it's over get the cyber team in. There will be widespread riots and discontent

Some people like drivel because that is all they ever post as well  -- if I post drivel at least it is short drivel.

It appears more like you plan to win this dismal competition by posting inane emoticoms.

I enjoy the process of stringing words together or posting one of my photos.  When people show their appreciation and understanding I feel rewarded for my effort.  Original content is important to me so I like to lead by example and only post my own work.  I may only represent a minority view on ThaiVisa but it is a group that needs to be represented in my opinion.

 

Unlike many, this is not a place I come to ask questions.  On the very rare occasion I need information about something Thailand related, I go to one of my Thai friends who always has much better connections than some foreigner who is a recent arrival and doesn't speak Thai.

for more than a decade i received extremely valuable advice by reading and of course by asking questions. assisting in technical, financial or any other matters to the best of my knowledge is my thanks for this advice.

 

reading rubbish between hard working hours (no work permit!) is my substitute for reading cartoons and quite often a temporary cure of my extremely low blood pressure. some of the forum topics i discuss with my dogs during leisure times who are very much interested and attentive because the discussions are accompanied by treats such as a variety of smoked sausages from continental Europe, wild boar ham and cheese.

It's nice to see you have loyal staff, I would imagine they are well looked after.

[chiang mai]

I don't know about anyone else but I see several good reasons why there should be categories of poster of the year candidates, best Thai related, best financial expertise, most consistently helpful, most literate, funniest, and so on.

Ten years service, they should have amassed a wheelbarrow full of dots.

Think you should plug your brain in, if you think I can remember posting gems out of 40,000 posts......Gawd 'elp us....

Now you tell me, how did I become runner up last year and in the finals this year....?

Are you insinuating the voting members are daft or what...?

Tell all....

You winning this competition shows the true state of this forum.

 

That's a statement I would agree with.

Perhaps the post count is tied in with the dot allocation.

I have plenty of original work online. It just isn't posted here because the nature of the work is such that it cannot be done anonymously. Also, when posting where I choose to post, it might be noticed by someone who is actually in a position to do something with or about it. Some people who have blogs or like to write at length on ThaiVisa do so because they know that at least someone will read it instead being in the 3 million group self-published on Amazon.
