Ooopps, I didn't mean that others ought to 'think before they post' . Surprised

So sorry if it sounded like that - that is exactly why I like to think before I post incase it is taken the wrong way, I seem to often say something which is construed the wrong way.

C'est la vie!

Hi!
Lisa-Jane wrote:Hi goldcrest. Do you really feel that you are not welcome? Shocked

I DO feel welcome here and keep logging on because of that!!!

What I actually typed was: "....its not that I dont feel welcome..."

If one takes out the word "not" it alters my intended message big time! No wonder I has a few concerned replies.

Thanks for the encouraging remarks, folks. Very Happy

Sorry goldcrest. Maybe if I didn't read so quickly I wouldn't misunderstand!!!!!! Embarassed

Hope that it didn't annoy you. As DQ said we sometimes type before we think. I frequently do that and it shows Sad

You might be surprised the number of times I used to edit my posts goldcrest. Sometimes it was because the punctuation or grammar was incorrect. Or maybe the spelling left something to be desired. Or the meaning wasn't quite as clear as I meant it to be.

Now to be honest I don't bother. My thoughts normally come faster than my typing speed and I end up with all sorts of rubbish but I reckon that if we can decipher childrens work at school you'll all be certainly able to make out what I'm trying to say. Very Happy

I hope.

You learn to be forgiving when certain people nick your avatar and substitute one of a pair of sheep, getting up close and personal! lol

Keep posting goldcrest, be yourself and don't worry about doing it 'wrong'. This forum is for all. Very Happy
