I try to put things up, but obviously there is not much appeal in my efforts. Sometimes there might be a couple of comments but dozens of lookers.
At times the forum gets very technical and maybe people with less knowledge feel intimidated - this was said to me in a PM when I was feeling a bit “put down”. Some people are happy to jump in and comment but seldom put up a post.
We can but try but if it is left to the same people all the time then it is never going to be lively.

Note to self: Try Harder!
I've been aware of your efforts, Ali, good for you! Stresses and strains within our lives can affect our response mechanism. Age and issues have got to me recently. Am currently one-eyed (not a metaphor), cataract surgery on right eye and waiting for the left one to be done. So focus impossible meanwhile.

Thanks everyone I don't have much to contribute but I love looking daily at everything posted.Some strange posts happen but yes I do appreciate you posting Ali and that is sad that someone would pm in this way.Yes I do have less knowledge but I love reading what everyone has to say.Perhaps Facebook has taken a bit of shine off this excellent forum.

Many of the stranger postings aren't from real people, they are from "bots" that that trawl the internet posting links, they are computer programmes that take phrases from other posts and put them together in a way that kind of sounds correct, but isn't. So just ignore them. Pretty much anything that comes from a long name/odd name, and contains links, that'll be a bot.

Sadly I think with all the social media opportunities there are less people visiting communities such as ours.
I was very quiet over January as was tied up with lots of rowing and teens needing parental input.
It is interesting the people I know who visit here but don't have the confidence to post comments....
