    @Thanks Akkie, I have been wearing it quite a lot lately, I needed protection. my enthusiasm for actiive contribution has diminued for the moment due to bad experience with a former member who followed me all over the Internet in order to find some possibility to insult me one way or the other. Sorry, but this is the reason why I am not so often here anymore.  every word I write is being watched and used against me by someone  who was a member here and perhaps still is using another name.

    As long as one member can be here using several identities, and play games with the honest members here, this place is no more the same. Will not write more on this in public. But I am not the only one who has withdrawn, as you have noticed already.
