I Think Ivor is right, it would be very hard to impose a 'read me before you fall in love' of course in reality no one is going to read it, and if they did, they would not take much notice,thats rather like the Nanny state telling us whats best for us, we often go right out of our way to say ' Whats it got to do with you ' when I see these e mails, I feel a need to respond, then another part of me says, if I keep responding, this will go on forever, sometimes I look at the content and think ' This guy is a plank' or 'Can't believe this story' then I get an urge to set them straight, or sometimes just to give an opinion, Gina would often say to me ' Don't get involved' or 'Enough now' I remember back to my favourite one of all the time ' The Income Port' its ones like that that get me going !, the whole point of this is, there are thousands of Brits out there who get involved with Filipinos, I guess its not for us here at the Forum to dissuade them in any way, they make these decisions, most of the time, they don't think at the start about the practicalities, paying for allowances, paying for visa costs and trips, paying for repatriation, that sort of thing, but really, everyone makes his or her own decision based on the relationship they have, I guess our mission here at the Forum, will never really change, people will come on with their own story, we will continue to answer that story with our own opinions.

I remember when Eddie Basson set up 'British Marrying Filipinos' that is where I got the inspiration to build my website, you don't see his any more, it was up for about 5 years on Freeserve, I think he probably decided it was time to leave it to others, and had enough, that will probably happen to me at some stage no doubt, but for the moment, we continue to answer peoples queries, Robs Idea is great, it just wont get read !, hahahahahahaha
