To the OP: After a few years on here so many of the same thoughts come up with the same answers that I just don't bother to respond. I see from some of the responses above that I'm not alone there. That could look like I just never visit any more, although I'm here almost daily.

To the logging off problem: When I got my new laptop I decided to try the Duckduckgo browser to see how it worked. Not only does it do a great job with eliminating ads on youtube, on some sites it gives me the option to "fireproof" the site. I didn't know what that meant but tried it on this one. What it does is keep me logged on permanently. I haven't had to log on from this computer since.

That also makes me more likely to respond to a thread since I'm already logged on. Before that I spent most of my visits here in guest mode and often just didn't feel like spending the 5 seconds it takes to log back in.
