Thank you for your kindness. It’s mainly lack of time. I said before IMHO posting threads needs tending as do even posts, hence reluctance. I believe like the old days when I was a kid, then BBS then early web forums etc if someone says or asks something in your thread or even a post one should at least acknowledge, if not thank. Very rare these days! Also posts. I haven’t had time to read most threads here for years. If someone quoted me and I didn’t thank them and wished them best, I apologize, I didn’t see it. So please no one mention me again, but in my heart I thank you all.
Back to topic: maybe “mention handles” as in some forums with an @ handle prefix to the username would be a good idea too, with notifications for the logged in user.
Best wishes to LB & ALL members & ALL readers here & your loved ones.
Goodbye.

Yes, that’s one of the issues I had in mind. Mac users are so spoiled in terms of productivity software and they often assume everyone owns a Mac.

Agreed, that’s probably the best solution. And you won’t need to care about keeping older versions then.

Best wishes to you. I am sorry to see you go. Even if you’re not able to follow the forum as you might like, or as many of us did back in the day when things were new and time didn’t seem so limited, you could still look in as time allowed. I think the word for it is “lurking”, and there is noting wrong with that!
