Membership

[Byron]

LOL - strange to have read of members being "driven away" and my last check on the stats. indicated 676 board members. Looking again today I see that figure has risen to 842.
Sounds promising so maybe a lot more scope for some interesting threads to appear in forums?
Might that be possible ? - are all you new members out there reading this?

[Torchwatch]

I t takes time for new members to commit themselves to starting or replying to threads, they need to know that their opinions and experiences will be accepted and valued rather than ridiculed. What you wear to swim in is close to your body and may be hard to talk about at first.

I liked your comments Torchwatch. As a new member, I agree, it's very important to me to know that my posts will be accepted for what they are and that I am not being judged. And for folks to know that opinions are neither right nor wrong.

LOL - empathy with a fellow forgetful member there - but what forum password do you need having been given your membership of the board ?

[Byron]

Agree - and childish remarks such as "I don't care what you think" are hardly conducive to intelligent debate.

I Forgot the password to my email (not my main box) so when I reset my password I couldnt retrieve it lol. Oh the trouble a new cellphone will get you into...

[Byron]

LOL - my troubles to come perhaps - just acquired new mobile with big buttons
as getting everything wrong with the previous tiny ones was driving me nuts
(are you old enough to remember them as big as a brick and with a pull-out aerial?)

I'm old enough to remember when there was no TV
