Maybe I'm forgetting, but I don't recall hearing of this VIC-based site before today:

I bumped into it by accident a few nights ago. I'm confused about one thing though, it's on a private domain but labelled an official HRSA site.

No official HRSA site should allow an apostrophe in the plural noun radios.

I have to say that is one of the most aggravating things I see these days and it is so commonplace too. I know I sound pedantic when I moan about spelling and grammar here but the other issue is search engines and what people look for when they are searching. When people search for things they generally get the spelling right and sites that are a litany of spelling errors miss out on relevant traffic because the content doesn't match the search phrases. If you search for "radios" in years to come, that site and sites like it will be 6 millionth in the rankings simply because of that. This site is #1 for "vintage radio" on Bing, Google and Yahoo. There's a combination of factors that make it so but the second most important of all is the accuracy of things like spelling and grammar. After all, computers will only ever do what is asked of them, no more, no less.

Long-established forums are one of the best types of sites to keep at the top if they are well managed because the good content virtually creates itself. Those living in Great Britain or the US will most likely find their local vintage radio forums, owned by Paul Stenning and Alan Voorhees respectively, are in the same boat.

I reckon fruit & veg shop price ticket writers would probably hold the record for making everything plural by adding 's to it.

One I saw before Christmas scored a double whammy with both potato's and mango's. Then somebody had "corrected" them with a felt pen to read potatoe's and mangoe's.

It probably needs the inigma code to get into it.

Comment deleted - Incites argument

Comment deleted - find some manners please

People, please be nice to each other. The start of the year isn't the time to be banned.

Hmm, okay: I was informed by a few members this morning that there were some unsavoury remarks made in this thread. I am not privy to them as I had no access to the site at the time and asked a deputy administrator to deal with the matter and it appears this has been done.

On the subject of the comments I'll just repeat Praetor's remark - be nice. Opinion is fine, even when it may seem a little harsh, but personal abuse isn't. All I can do is ask members to differentiate between the two.

On the subject of SS: you have lied on your account application and this is grounds for immediate account closure, also triggered by the apparent purpose of your visit which was to take the law into your own hands instead of going through channels.
