Anyway, that's okay, but it feels a little like one of those dreams where one walks out - unclothed - in public.
Thanks for your helpful advice and I'll no doubt be in touch again, soon, seeking more of the good oil.

who is dobie gillis ? i don't know that reference.
anyway yes as you've discovered, whatever you write in a thread like this one can be read by everybody who comes along. there are two possibilities if you want to send a message to one specific person : click on their name next to any post, and you can choose from the options "view public profile" and "send private message". on the public profile, you can leave a message which can be read only by members who go to that page. a private message can only be read by the writer and the recipient.
it's a bit confusing at first but you'll soon catch on.
