So glad we haven't offended, Marian. Knockout image, anyway and it has occurred to me that you must have done something awfully clever to get it to display here.

I must confess I seem to have missed out completely on the maternal instinct myself. I have endless patience with kittens/puppies etc but sometimes upset people when I say I can't see the attraction of having something it takes several years to housetrain!

That doesn't mean I can't be pleased for those who do take joy from such, and I do hope this will be the case for your niece.

I'm inclined to the view that just as I believe we would welcome anyone as a member, we should not reduce that welcome for any who choose not to register.

I lurked for quite some time at ECF reading and researching before registering in order to be able to post, and that was the first forum which I ever joined. It isn't too much of a stretch to imagine others doing the same simply to get a 'feel' for the place before joining.

Also, despite the membership at the eBay group going over 600 now, I do recall occasional posts from some of the less gabby members there which said they simply enjoyed reading without feeling inclined to post themselves. A check of the 'members list' there often shows people have called in but not posted and of course others who join but never post at all.

So overall, I'd be in favour of leaving the welcome mat out and hope our visitors will join in when they choose - otherwise they would be denied the chance to see for themselves that we don't ever tell people their questions are foolish or criticise their spelling if it isn't perfect etc.

...as for Isaac, I am confidently predicting his popularity will continue to increase...

Very pleased to see some of our new members beginning to get the hang of it, as everyone's said - we were ALL newbies not so long ago so please don't ever feel inhibited about asking questions.

Keeping your sense of humour when it dawns on you that you did an 'oops' and then being generous enough to share the giggle with others is a sign of strength of character IMHO, and definitely one of the lovely things about this place.

Arvo all! (I like arvo, nice word.)

Delighted to hear that Tim is giving the e-cig another try and hope that he will be pleased with his new purchase. Even if it is another DSE901 (or RN4075), they do vary - some have a much lighter draw than others which seems to be down to individual atomiser variations. And they change over time, too.

If this one does not suit, I'd wonder if he might get on with a supermini RN4081 or perhaps an Intellicig EVO? Both have their fans and they are shorter than 901s. They are more awkward to refill with juice but if Tim is using carts and can find a flavour he likes this might not matter.
