I've been known to post before realising a thread is ancient, (and anyway some issues come round again and again.) Give them a break and make them feel welcome.

Anna, had they not obviously read the topic, to find that quote, so should have noticed the date, I would, but my experience after using message boards of various types for 30+ years, and being am admin/mod on forums &c leads to my comments above.

RollingJ just likes being pessimistic. There isn't, Irene - I agree with that, but as above, why go back to almost the first page of a 225 page long one?
