My reasons for using another name have been covered.  So far I have not blocked any IP’s from using my BB.  If I did it would certainly be posted on the board.  Valerie was my birth name and and I changed it to Anne-Marie by deedpole to protect my children back in 1995 from being taken from the country--The Hague Convention is not too neat a system to work through I guess and I wanted to make sure they were safe.).  

Best wishes to you  ;) (I will email you).

Anne-Marie.

I am apologising if my BB is not getting traffic the last few days.  I’m sure it will settle eventually.  I am optimistic as I intend the board to be a permanent fixture, and I forsee an increased audience in the coming few months anyway due to a possible publicity campaign with the 1mg tabs.    I guess traffic will increase and decrease anywhere.  People post of their own accord.  If it isn’t busy, I generally do other things.     I’m learning where the running of it is concerned and trying  to do things the right way, but inevitably it is not always what others feel is right where the running of the BB is concerned.   I have so far not blocked anyone from posting, and I don’t really want to either and am working on other ways to make the board ok to post.

One other thing is I do not really want to come here and debate.  I appreciate being able to use the board just as others do.      

Apologies to all for any inconvenience caused.
