> Yes, I’m aware of that. What I was perhaps less prepared for was cyberhugs from someone whose posting name I didn’t recognise. While my first response was to feel rather uncomfortable (because it seemed overfamiliar), it occurred to me that perhaps this poster was someone I’d previously encountered under a different name. And that’s why I came over to Admin to see if there was a change-of-posting-name message.

Maybe I shouldn’t feel uncomfortable, but the fact remains that I do.Acts of kindness from random strangers...
