See many men,adding to the threads, in contrast to all the ladies and their girly talk ( no offence meant ladies ) Does this mean, the women have commandeered the computer, ?

I guess there's a few reasons. More women have more spare time during the day ("housewifes" - I don't say that in a derogatory way, it's just fact). Plus - women talk more - it's a generalization maybe, but it's pretty much scientifically proven. Those of us blokes that like to chat must just be a little more in touch with our feminine side :) Paul

No offence taken! Mm, I remember starting a thread in a similar vein, wondering why it seems more ladies than gentlemen post threads and answer them. Wouldn't it be fun if all the subscribers tried to post threads?! Joy

I've just had a similar chat with my rather chatty bros in law lol! Generally women do take over and the men take a back seat ( any thing for a quiet life lol) Much happiness Debi

I started reading this thread, was going to add a comment, and then reached Pauls reply. I agree with him, that it's probably the housewives (also not derogatory), or people who (for whatever the reason) are home most of the day, who can contribute most. I "look in" during working time, in coffee breaks, and while waiting for the computer to process stuff, but if I'm really busy, then I don't ! And when I get home, or weekends, I've usually had enough of computers !!
