Sad that Atqui felt she had to have her harmless thread deleted. It won’t encourage contribution to the site.
I agree !
I enjoyed that thread .

I have been an observing member for some time and rarely post, although I find many of the discussions interesting.
I have always been curious as to how few men seem to be on here. Maybe they are observing from afar too? 
I have seen a very small number of posts from grandads and would love to know how they figure in proportion to the ladies. My guess is no more than 15% of total members. Does anybody know the figures?
Just a thank you to everyone who has posted on this thread and added their contribution. It has been interesting and enlightening for me. One post suggested 5% male and 95% female. I find that unsurprising but a tad disappointing, although I did suggest 15% male in my OP.
I suppose I am at a slight advantage in that I have always been "into" IT and have used a keyboard for more years than I care to remember. Also 'Gransnet' does rather suggest a female demain and, in my view, if that is what is actually intended, it should be made clear in the "all are welcome" introduction.
I shall continue to loiter and observe and interject as and when I feel like it or feel it to be appropriate.
For the record, I have been male all my life (can I say that nowadays?
), 73 years old with two daughters in their late thirties and one grandson who is just 16 months old.
Oh Rameses, you don't sound at all like your namesake. I'm afraid that name has been firmly in my head since childhood. ?

'Goodness gracious me' as Peter Sellers once sang, that is one of my best photoshots!!
