I have been helped with advice I`ve received on this forum many times.
Trouble is, it takes me a while to cure the problem and get back to the forum to record my thanks.
By the time I get back to the forum, because it`s so popular and busy, I can`t find my query on the board to record my thanks.
So to everbody who helps me, a big thank you!
I`m not being rude, honestly!

dont worry ... its ok if your not able to reply right away... its understandable since i too also have the same problem... they ask a question ... then there are like 30 post before i finally get to answer ... i live in a different timezone... all understand your predicament (i think and i hope)

Not a problem puzzled! Perfectly spoken from an elder statesman of the board (and I do mean that in the best possible way, looking at your profile)! It's great that we have such a diverse range of ages on this board. Feel free to join the off-topics ok?

It is true. I am erm..slightly older than the rest of you. How on earth did you know that? You`re not a REAL wizard, are you?

Memnoch is right... i though you wuz only my age... (boy wuz i wrong)

I wish I was! Hmm, that sounds like a new poll coming...

Actually I just click on the little envelope at the top left hand corner of your post and it tells me. I can also click on your name in the main board and it tells me the same thing!

puzzled: I share your situation in that I cannot always get to the board as often as I would like. One thing I found helpful was to modify my profile so that I am notified by email when someone replies to my post. Comes in handy since this board is so popular.

Glad to have you when you can make it!

I used to do that IR, and wondered why I always had 50 messages in my Inbox every morning

Only 50 Memnoch? What happened the day before, did your wrists break?

Don't worry puzzled, living in Scotland means that by the time I get back Armi, Memnoch and the other peeps from the other side of the globe have extended my posts by 20-30. Everyone knows not to expect thanks every time.
