I once responded to a couple of things posted in "Tell us about yourself" and had my welcome to a new member and sympathy with a misfortune that had befallen another deleted by mods as a digression because it wasn't all about me. So I think the answer is that you can post in either thread but this is the best one if you want anyone to reply.
Anyway, welcome to the forum. I see you are in Somerset so maybe we will see you in person at the "Gathering of the Loonies" at the end of November.
I've read your other post and decided against responding lest it be deleted. I think 25 years of guilt is enough for a teenage crime. However, I did like Grace's suggestion that you donate books to libraries.
