Hello @Former-Member
As you are aware, there are various type of threads, some social, some relating to particular issues that people may be addressing or through which they are able to exchange information.
"
You asked me whether I had a specific thread on which people can talk with me. So I have established a thread for just that purpose. Thank you for the stimulus to do so.
"
I have called it “Henry's Landing Strip & Hangar” which really reflects the purpose for which it is intended.
"
As I have mentioned to you, anyone is free to look through my profile, or any other person's profile. If you or anyone else wishes to establish a thread where they would like to talk without intruding into the conversation of others, or to talk more “privately”, it is useful to set up a more personal thread for that purpose. Privacy on the forum is more a courtesy than a reality, since all conversations are open and there is no 'private messaging' facility on the forum. However, because people on the forum understand the need for space, to speak with out intrusion onto others' space {eg social threads} and without intruding into the space of other people, less open, more personal threads are used and generally respected. There have been times when I have been involved in a conversation that has begun in a more social thread and I have transferred that conversation to a more “private” space so as to not impose on other members, a discussion that really should be more person to person and, in this way, allow others to continue their enjoyment of the more social threads, without that intrusion.
"
Since all threads are open, my introduction and discussion here may also be useful for others who visit this thread. As I have described the purpose of this thread, it is possible that different people may also visit here, so it is hard to say how much 'traffic' there will be on this thread.
"
If you wish to, you may set up a thread for yourself which will allow you, as others also do, to connect and talk more personally, with people with whom you may have more in common, on your own thread. I am happy to assist with doing that, for you or anyone else, just the way I have with this thread.
"
Since it is you, @Former-Member , who inquired whether I had such a thread, and as a result, it has been established, I have addressed you first.
"
I look forward to talking with you and others here, or wherever you may choose, @Former-Member
With My Very Best Wishes
