Hi, Muffles, and welcome out from behind the curtain!
It is hard to post to Guy guys (we really must find a moniker ... gg just won't do) if they don't let themselves be known.
We tend to address CD issues to each other for several reasons:
... we're the only ones posting
... we have so many issues, and very little real time support, especially when just starting out.
... While I welcome sincere questions, or proposal for meetings (in the personal section), so many times it reduces to writing endless fantasy scenerios that get just plain boring. I'm a professional writer, and after a while I start to feel like I should be paid!
So, all you guy guys out there, if you've got a serious question, a humerous question, or you would just like to satisfy your curiosity about us, then please post a reply or start a thread; but if you only want your fantasies satisfied, perhaps this is not the best place for you.
Sherry
