It's just a straightforward comment, not a joke. Of course Daman or anyone else can read old threads and comment if they want to. I just thought that maybe Daman mistakenly believed that once he'd opened a thread, he had to post a comment and so was putting things like "Don't worry, it's just me" which even you POGS must admit is pretty pointless. I was trying to be helpful, not bloody rude.

Don't go! I put a question on Lil's Bar especially for you!

I was wondering what 'the stuff' was that was cluttered.

I was only thinking Oldie Borum is probably the safest place for me, a newbie, and I will comment on everything to see how it feels. (shallow end)

(There was a suggestion that Gransnet did have hundreds of threads for me to be on)

Thank you for positivity directed my way

Does it matter, absent ? I don't think space is at a premium.

I approve of trying to post on a lot of threads at once, anyway.

I remember what fun it was competing with Jingle over a year ago for the how-many-threads-can-you-be-the-last-on-in-the-shortest-time trophy. Several others joined in and had a good time. It got quite manic, no sooner had you posted somewhere than someone else trumped you. A lot of people were confused, but WTH. It did not last very long.

Steady there.

That's b----y rude if you don't mean it as a joke.

Just because you want to catch up with what has gone before, doesn't mean you have to make a comment on the thread – unless it's interesting and worthwhile. "Don't worry, it's just me" simply clutters up stuff.
