Thanks for sharing experiences! I guess I will continue to feed her in her cage despite the mess...

The reason my profile says three (now four) posts is because the first time I tried to pose the question my session timed out. When I logged in again as prompted there was a glitch and my post dissapeared. I then wrote to admin in the hopes they could recover it. Waited a few days, no response. Wrote second message to admin asking if could recover and also why my profile (at time) showed 1 post. They responded that my original post was unrecoverable and that any messages to admin were included in post counts. That is why I had a count of three after my first forum post.
