There has been a fair bit of posting revolving around participation ,being partnered etc ...I believe that partnered members should set  an example and try to post on a regular basis ..thus generating activity and possibly generating more activity..In respect of partnering ,Whilst I wish Admin would be a little more generous in granting partnered status ,we should also resist what is perceived by some to be their right to be partnered ,just because they put in a few weeks posting activity ...There is a balance  to be made that isnt quite right yet .
