Re: hanna: and you know why?
Yes you sound like a teacher. My n/m (no message) is to save you time so you don't have to open it and that is part of CZ instructions, it can also be n/t (no text) or n/p (no post). Well meant.
For me clickless messages are a lot of work. I am a 2 finger typist and taught myself the computer. When I want to type the links I first make a copy of the post so I can follow it, since I have to look at the keyboard and keep forgetting where I was. So you see I have a selfish reason why I prefer to click.
Luckily someone a long time ago told me how I could put the link in the posts, I still remember his name Nordskoven, I was so glad he told me.
I can tell you that a lot of people don't even click. My interest is not writing, but I like to figure things out. Over the years I have put in a lot of links from other forum posters and kept track (since CZ counts them) how many people click , my experience is if 100 people read the post, may be 20 might click. We have a lot of lookers.
As far as the cut and paste I still can't do it. One person wrote it out for me and I kept getting stuck. I tried it from a book a couple of years ago too. This does not mean I have given up. My husband and I just talked about it the other day, that everybody does it and we should learn it. We still hope that one of our children (who are in their 40ties, have careers and familes) might show us. We hope when we are in Florida and they visit us there might be some time.
Thank you both for all the work you are doing here.
