Please do not feel apologetic. I do post a lot of blog entries. The reason I do that is it gives more expression to my creativityto write articles for my blog than just reading or making email posts. When I know a blogpost is not quite relevant I usually add the words 'blogpost' or 'general nature writing' so that people are forewarned.
Anyway, thanks to all for the support from the group of which I was till recently a silent member. I'm sure figtree meant well.
