Hello there, WOW

Glad to make your acquaintance. I empathise with your confusion over how this place works - it took me a little while to suss it out - and I am relatively computer literate.
(one thing we have in common is a background in the printing industry. I wrote programs for one of the first computer type-setting machines, called a "Lumizip", of all names! - but I well remember the old hot-type machines)

One of the big advantages of this board not being in real-time is that you have a chance to sit back and consider what your response should be, which ought to save you from making horrible errors. Not that really seems to work for me
I look forward to seeing more of your postings - don't worry - you'll soon get the hang of it, and the natives round here are really friendly - they growl a bit sometimes, but I've never known them to bite.
