Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

My heart finds itself more and more leaning towards Russia.
Man, the devil did a number on them. 70 years of Soviet suffering. Just goes to show, you cannot keep a good people down.
Me too, the language is beautiful. I love listening to Simon Khorolsky on YT. Polish people I knew who lived under communist rule never hated the Russian people, saw them as victims too.
Very cool....
Amazing! I cant wait until Russian Culture becomes mainstream again. They have contributed so much to arts and culture over the centuries.
I'd love to see Russian Cossack dancers again; went to a performance some years ago - they were terrific. Made English Morris Dancers look like old age pensioners on Mogodon.
