Thanks from John2b for the offer to join
I've been a participant in the now deceased Renovate Forum for several years, which has given me a great opportunity to learn to communicate better.
I hope I can continue to get useful information in this new-to-me forum, whilst chipping in from time to time with what little wisdom I have gained over the years.
I seem to have travelled a different path to many people and I do sometimes present arguments forcefully. I've occasionally though unintentionally annoyed others in forums. I never mean to cause offence so I'll apologise in advance for any transgressions.
