Anyone can jump in at any time with a question on ANY name, that is the way the board has always worked in the years that I've posted here, but sometimes we get into a lull and no one is posting, hence the idea of "topics". I hope this explains a little. I've personally been "absent" due to a death in the family and am just catching up with over 120 posts. I may qualify for Mensa, have never tested - LOL.
