Hello @BlueBay 

 

Really pleased to see you made it over here.

 

No need to write anything unless you want to offer a suggestion, idea or just your own thoughts at any time. Have a look back through what others have offered. Like I said, this is an easy going thread where people can simply enjoy reading, offer their thoughts, throw up a nice photograph that you like, or just enjoy reading what others have to say.

 

I guess I might have to apologise again, for inviting you when I have written something that may be considered a bit "full-on" and heavy. However, why not? Just read through. If something clicks for you, you can say it in whatever words you feel comfortable with. I am sure that no-one will criticise or make you feel silly. Everyone else here will want to assist in whatever way that they can. they are here to enjoy themselves as well. Other people may even be able to explain my words better than I can.😃 And that is ok. While you might not be used to completely understand the way that I write, the best way to understand is to read, and ask. That way you will become used to understanding when other people write in the same or similar ways to the way that I write. Gradually you will find that you are able to understand a lot of different ways of writing and expression. Each style will help in understanding another style.

 

As you can see from what I have written, other people, and I, have all had problems working within the forum site. I think what I would like you to see is that none of us have "all the answers".

 

Any knowledge that I, or anyone else has, is only useful to another person, if and when the other person understands the message that I, or we, are trying to convey. It really is that simple. If someone doesn't understand what I have written, all that is needed, is to say "I'm not quite sure what you mean by " facilitate activity in the rest of the forum functions and structure." Here I've taken a clause out of the post that I have just written. Now, since you may have asked that question, it is up to me to explain what I mean in slightly different words. There is absolutely no shame in asking me or anyone else to explain what they have said in a different way. If there is anything at all that you do not understand or about which you feel that you might be uncertain of the meaning, you only need to ask me, or the person concerned.

 

If there were shame attached to not knowing or uncertainty, I would also have to feel ashamed every time that I check the spelling of a word or its meaning from an onsite dictionary. And I can tell you that I am regularly checking spellings and meanings of words, to make sure that they fit appropriately into what I am writing, and information about plenty of other things as well.

 

I really do hope that you and I have come through a rough patch, and have got to a stage where you feel comfortable 'talking' with me about whatever we discuss, or any question about what might be said here on the forum.

 

The best way is to practice. If you get used to asking me questions, you will gradually find it easier to ask questions of other people. I will never get tired of discussing answers with you as long as you have questions to ask.

 

With My Very Best Wishes
