Hooray. I’ve now gained access to this forum.
At first, for some reason, I kept getting 404 messages on my screen when I attempted to log on. Puzzling.
But then – remembering how my parents used to repair most of our TV set’s problems by the simple expedient of turning the telly off and banging on the top of the set – I turned off my own laptop, restarted it, and thereafter was mysteriously able to obtain the MSA Forum access which had eluded me earlier. Yay.
