What's a btt? (see how out of the loop I am?!!)
That means "Bump To the Top" - it is used to show that the post was used primarily to move you thread back to the top of the list of recent posts.
HOWEVER.... I prefer to view it as the sound someone makes when they stick out their tongue and blow. Btttttttttt.

Hi JW!
I can sympathise with you, it's something that's irked me for some time. I've found myself closeted in my study at unearthly hours just to be able to interact with our "wordwide association". Imagine the difficulty I have in helping with moderating. By the time we wake up, most "the action" has already taken place and is over and done with. I spend much of my time playing catch-up with my northern hemisphere friends.
The reality is though that most of JWD members (and we love 'em all!) are in different time zones (to us).
We have a choice, do we put up with the difficulties or perhaps resurrect our own board. We had one formerly operated by Uncle Bruce which is now dormant which operated much like H20 - you know, cut and thrust, humor, no moderation and so on. Perhaps we could talk about it when we evntually get down your way.
Having said all that, i personally feel that JWD fills the need of a worldwide community so well, that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages (for us).
But maybe this discussion will help our northern friends be aware of the great difficulties we experience living so far away from the rest of the world.
But then, we live in the best country in the world, eh? That's the compensation for all our trouble, methinks.
Cheers, Ozzie (permanently upside down class)
