Well, that's as may be but it never hurts to be friendly and helpful.

I do know Cynthia's guidance is most helpful.

That other thread is marked as answered, so Teresa must have found her way back, and Cynthia's directions as to how to return would have been crystal clear

I think Teresa may be experiencing some difficulty navigating the boards to return to her threads:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1340779

I know she's previously had a message telling her that there were replies on her other thread but I'll send her a message explaining how to actually return to them.
