Hello sharonBT and a warm welcome to the AB.
As the 'elder statesman' of the site, it falls to me to advise you that you can chip in any and all the time with your questions and opinions, and fight your corner if you disagree.
Occasionally, individuals take serious issue with each other and get personal - rise above such nonsense, it doesn't last long. The regulars are great people, helpful, wise, supportive, and a great source of fun, information, triva, and comfort, what ever you need.
Stick around, the water's lovevly!
