Yes - fluff counts as hair! Just ask any chicken!
Your survival and come-back will continue to astound us and make us wear big silly grins around you for a long while! You'll get used to it!
As your skills improve with therapy, I'm sure we'll start seeing you jump into other threads just like a "regular" MR member - although I'm not sure there is such a person. We're all cracked in the head a little bit I think. So - you're in the right place!
