I have had this happen to me several times. If they don't know, if they haven't done enough research then please say so, otherwise it is a case of repeated e-mails to no avail. Sorry about the moan but just wanted to get it off my chest. Regards Diane

Some members just have a different grade of interest-sort of a dabble here and a dabble there-if it gets too involved,they either give up or go looking for something else. This is a recurring gripe,but i'm afraid some people just arent that bothered despite signing up.
