Once you reply to a post in any forum, then you can start a thread. This is one way we attempt to keep our little corner of the world free of spammers and obnoxious posts.

More than one person here has found this to be a place where abstract concepts, ideas, or positions can be discussed in a calm and reasoned manner, and where such things actually count. In this sense, the Internet has allowed many people, isolated from like minds in the confines of location, to find a community.
Welcome to the Philforum.

You have found a wonderful community of individuals that do care about what most others would not give a second thought. Welcome to the forums, and may truth set you free.
