the suspicion with which a "newbie" might be greeted here aptually® we have a long history of exceptionally welcoming and receptive attitudes on this board - you enter on the coat-tails of discord which has seemed at times to deliberately ferment such attitudes.

If I take your point correctly, WO'N:

May I add my, somewhat belated welcome to you, SilkMuse. May you spin us many an interesting yarn. And how dare you suggest that our beloved Bill Shakespeare was anything other than our beloved Wm Shaksper.

A rose by any other name would still have thorns.We can complain because rosebushes have thorns or rejoice because thornbushes have roses.  The Only WO'N!
