if you want to add your comments to everybody else's under a thread (topic), just find the "post reply" button and click on it. a place will appear on your display for you to type in your comments. it will put an automatic subject line in for you, but you can change it if you want.
when you're done, click on the "submit" button. once it's up, which only takes a second or so, everyone can read it. believe me, you will get lots of response. everybody here is friendly and helpful.
at least one of us is completely insane, but she lives in my head and follows me everywhere. can't get rid of her. :shock:
the second thread in the "Main" section is about forum rules. it also contains all kinds of hints about how to post, send private messages, and other things you'll want to do once you get comfortable.
Admin prefers we not put our real email addresses where they're automatically visible. she would be more comfortable about our cyber-safety if we shared them with each other via private messages (PM).
if you want to practice finding out how to send and receive PMs, please feel free to start with me. :-)
