Talking Note to new members

Dear new member of the French forum
welcome. You may have found reading through some of the posts that some of our members are, how shall we say, strange
Admin and mods are aware of this, but generally allow them to participate as part of their therapy programme
We hope this behaviour does not put you off posting in the forum
Please feel free to contribute as you see fit
However, every now and again one of the lunatics does break out of the asylum - if they should bother you, feel free to contact me

Not to name and shame, but could you give us the aliases of members who have not shown signs of 'strangeness'?

Ah, now let's unpick this properly, let's have a definition of 'strangeness' first.

Or, even better, a Guide to Spotting The Strange Amongst Us, so we have a bit of an idea of whether we will be named and shamed on the "These people are not strange" list or, by omission, be branded Mad by Dint of Absence from The List.
