I have just read through all this thread. People were trying to be helpful and answer the question. The original poster hardly acknowledged them to start with. Then there was a bit of lighthearted humour. What is wrong with that? I can't see anything to make anyone go off in a huff. In fact that was probably hurtful to the people who had tried to help.
Anyway, my answer would have been a young slow worm, they aren't at all slow.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
The opening posters profile says they joined on 31st of May. I cannot say that necessarily means anything. Whether shy or for any other reasons they did not post before. I cannot imagine joining a forum that many months ago and not reading it or getting at least an idea of how people post, characters etc.
If they were completely new coming in off a search engine I could understand possibly feeling unwelcome or hesitant.
I lurked for ages before joining and managed to get the gist. And I am not the sharpest pin in the cushion. Though I was not desperate for help, just looking for a like minded bunch for winter entertainment. Oh dear that sounds so wrong
