I agree nt.
The initial idea was to have 1 forum so that "everyone" registering could introduce themselves regardless of which shorthand type they wrote.
And then, after the introduction, scoot to the forum of their choice.
Sometimes when I don't take enough work breaks from my screen, the phone will ring and once I'm off yapping and back to my computer, I haven't the faintest idea where I left off. That's usually how this sort of stuff happens.
Thanks to this group, I'm back on track again.
