l'd rather we all stuck to one name,what ever it may be. l for one don't have a long list of numbers to compare names with so find it very confusing. l have also been at the wrong end of someone changing their name pretending to be a member of my family. For all l know that person could still be on the boards. But hey this is free world and we all have a choice!! jude sarf wales ;o|

Hi Joan, sorry I have not seen you on the General Board before. I just answered Paul's thread, and gave my opinion. I am a 50 year old, probably too 'foggie' for some. But there is definatley a difference between the Chatroom board and the General Topic's Board in my own opinion. As far as I am concerned, some folks post on this board, thinking it is a 'Chatroom' Yes, ok it is up to a point. But I think you will find that the General Topic's board is not what some new members think, and they would be better using the 'Chatroom' I am most certainly not trying to class you as one of these people. If I have offended, then I do apologise. Jenny.

Going by your messages and replies I have a feeling you are young at heart - it's just the every day aches and pains that get in the way am I right? and all the trappings that come with it. Lin

Hi Paul. I am with you 100% on this subject. I too am finding it very hard to keep up with all these 'new folks' I only ever went on the 'Chat board' when I first joined GR. Found it to be full of 20 year olds, much to young for me. Where the General board has always been in most circumstances for us older people. Sorry dont mean to sound rude to those that are in their 20's that use the General board, you are all usually on the same wavelength. But the new folks that have been posting today are a little mistaken if they think the General Topics board is like a 'chatroom'. You are on the wrong board. Genesreunited have a special board for those that just want to 'chat' Sorry if I have offended anyone, but it is just the way a lot of us feel. Jenny. Who has never changed her name.

I did not ask for your surname Joan - just keep your name as it is so that I know who you are and if I have spoken to you before - by the way how does it feel to be 16. Lin

I like to recognize the person I am replying to - maybe I have spoken to them before, and in general ask how they are getting along etc etc. Sorry you are Joan who? Lin Put me down on your list Paul...
