Jon_d,
I was sharing the e-mail with my friends.
Being that I am 85 years of age and virtually social isolated because of my medical condition and my reliance on home oxygen; I don't get around the streets very much except an occasional trip to the Chemist or Medical Centre to have prescriptions renewed.
This Forum is my social life, and I regard the members as my friends----friends that I feel free to make comment on any subject.
I don't have a list of "private" friends who I can contact as you suggest.
Keith
EDIT: You are (so far) the only member who has raised any objection to my post, so I accept that other members of the forum are my friends and accept my postings as a means of communication.
