Congratulations Smiths and thank you for all the effort and reliable recommendations. If you don't mind me saying so I think you should consider this thread and all these comments as an invitation to share a bit more about yourself if you care to. I would be interested to hear your story and how you became such a phenomenal punter. Thank you also Password for rightly drawing attention to this milestone.

In brief I have been punting since the 80s and until the invent of punting forums I punted totally in the dark knowing no other punters. After joining another punting forum I started to meet other punters and share info with them and on the forum.
I semi-retired in 2008 and spent a year then partying a lot at LMP, probably the highlight of my punting, a really fantastic year of sheer indulgence. In August 2010 I was jaded and cream crackered so took 6 months off punting though I did punt a few times, and didn't post or read the punting forum i was on. I returned in February 2011 to find big changes. Many had left that forum and Steve told me about this forum which I then joined.
I am fortunate i can punt when i wish but i do want VFM as i see it as i do outside punting usually.
