OMG, it looks very complicated and I might need some guidance here,

I probably need a few people to friend me.

I am sure I will get the hang of it with a bit of help.

I've "friended you", and yes it will take a bit of getting used to. But
I think you'll like it, eventually.


Precisely the reason I don't participate in any moderated groups. I
don't need a "net nanny". It's easy enough to block offensive posts or
posters. If anyone thinks they can moderate my comments or what posts I
read, they are sadly mistaken. NOPE.

We can control who posts unlike
here, which is nice. Just don't expect to learn it all in one day and
you'll be fine

"Control" being the operative word. Sorry, but I don't deal with
moderated forums. BTDT. The moderator invariably turned out to be a
petty tyrant. A control freak.

I'm not sure what the point is. Congratulations on figuring out your
real name! j/k Mine is, and always has been, Jill McQuown.
