Time and again I have tried to join the discussion but when I check I am the only one on line. I see the posted times but glean from reading that some writers are in United Kingdom...I do not know if the posted time is local to the writer, Greenwich Mean Time or translated to local for the reader. Is there a secret? I want to participate, my qualifications are : I love words and I have over 40 years in varied aspects of the writing business. Please pity the Stranger knocking on the door and offer any advice you can/may. I do think "stranger" is a good name for new people because, trust me in this, I feel strange, the chat board is a strange new world to me and all the rules are strange. Here, I would use an icon of a confused face if I knew how to insert one in this message... Any and all help greatly appreciated. Aloha
