Does anyone else find the one liners preceded by # with words running together that some posters use annoying? I believe it has its origins in twitter, but as this isn't twitter .......

there is no alt key on my keyboard. Apple don't do them.
If I press cmd3 it takes me to a website on trust and foundation schools confused
but there are [] on the keyboard.
This is why i have not really got to grips with the real function of hashtags on twitter. They are a way of linking tweets in a theme if I understand correctly. This does not work on GN!

Kitty the only way anyone could work out who you really were, would be if you posted on FB in your real name, on Gransnet's page.
Sometimes when I have nothing better to do I look at GN's FB page and try to guess who people are, but actually I can't.grin
Simply copying a thread onto a Facebook page won't disclose you real name - how could it?

#QJessM on iPad it's the same as getting the [] brackets.

kittylester there is no real you anymore. You have been absorbed into webland.

The words at the end are all blurring,
The dialogue seems to be slurring,
It doesn’t make sense,
Is it me being dense?

But, will people be able to link the real me to this me? confused

OK, so both Frank and JessM wnet to the wrong meeting, but I once turned up at the wrong funeral blush

JessM - try this: "To type a hash symbol, hold down the alt key and press the 3 key."
