First off let me state that I do not wish to offend any of the LGBTQ folks out there and have never felt that they should be treated differently due to their personal choices. My stepson is gay and I've accepted him and his partner as a members of our/my family since day one and it's never been an issue whatsoever. All in all, another person's sexual choices and practices are none of my business and I make no critical judgements due to them. However, I am suffering from some confusion over the large number of gender indentities we now need to be familiar with and understand going forward. I guess this is progress, but I don't think I'll ever understand why all this needs to be so mainstream. As an example, it is now pretty much impossible to watch a recently made TV program or even a commercial without seeing some form of LGBTQ behavior and at least for me this can sometimes be painful to watch. I can accept that it goes on and I'm glad that these folks are finding acceptance, but I don't need to see this kind of activity demonstrated repeatedly! Geese, growing up with TV, they showed married couples sleeping in separate beds and they seldom even kissed to avoid controversy, but now anything goes and it seems to escalate by the day. Can't we find some middle ground somewhere?

Anyway, From my personal research it appears that the biology (X & Y Chromosomes) determine the actual sex of an individual, but gender is generally considered to be how the individual sees themselves and how they choose to present themselves. This too I can accept, but is it really a good thing for something so intimate and personal to be portrayed so openly. At least to some degree, I think a more subdued portrayal, especially in the media, would serve everyone better in the long run. At least in my opinion, the Military's approach of "Don't ask, don't tell" is a good start. Maybe it should be modified at bit to something like "Don't ask, don't tell, and keep it a private matter whenever possible" would be a good slogan going forward.

Any comments? Please don't respond here if you can't keep it respectable. If not this will be a very short running thread! Anyway, think about it and respond if you have sensible comments, I'd like to hear them. Thanks and good shooting to all.

I agree entirely,
I have a few gay friends both male and female and I love them all, I'm having a pint with one tomorrow.
However, I'm now beginning to see this exaggerated to a point where I, as a heterosexual feel in as no longer mainstream.

Gerry,
Thanks for all those links,
I do look for different programme's from time to time and I was surprised you had several that I had not seen before.
Yes, I agree, the list that you provided is now dated however it still opens up new possibilities.

Best.... Phil

ACDSee have given their DAM an up-grade in the 2022 version.
Inpixio, I believe is subscription only, that puts me off every time

I have read somewhere that Cannon had made their printers unusable with 3rd party cartridges.
Epson have not stooped to those levels - yet!

Like you, I'm not much interested in the pano or HDR merge.
Therefore, Is there a noticeable difference in performance and do you consider that alone to be worth the up-grade price please?

I've had at least 10 quite bad experiences with Amazon, including 1 that was awful.
customer service is non existent, unless you want to be passed around the world.
I no longer use that brand, certainly here in the UK Ebay is far better and a lot, lot cheaper.

We've not had a tele for 35 years.
Back the we were very much the odd ones out but nowadays, there seem to be more of us around here in the UK,
although still in a minority.

I think one U.S. gallon is roughly 3.8 liters or about 5.75 British pounds (don't know how to get the symbol), which I think is just under $8 U.S..


Sorry, I didn't know that, so how many pints in a US gallon or are your pints different to ours as well please?

Think yourselves lucky, here in England, we are paying £1.50 per litre, 4.54 litres per gallon makes about £6.75 per gallon, that's something like $8 per gallon

Yes - heavy on graphics changes. Have you tried making a different browser the default?


Yes you can use any browser of your choice as default,
although it's a little more complicated to do this in 11 than 10.

Does Edge take over and won't let you have Google as your default?

This has happened to me a few months ago when I received an update

from Microsoft. It took me a long time and help from the internet on

how to get past Edge and get Google back as my default. I would like

to download Windows 11 but I am leery for that reason.


Edge is set by default in Win 11 however, it can quite easily be changed, I am not using Edge as default for anything now.
