Been following a thread for a while. Just seen it's been taken down because OP has been sockpuppeting. Can someone please explain what that means ???

Hello!

We usually delete threads when we believe that an OP is posting under two usernames to be disingenuous/to mislead other users.

We're okay when it happens accidentally and usually pop in and clear up if it does! Grin

Many thanks. I've learned something new . I will endeavour to use it with my teens in an attempt to look 'current' ... and no doubt receive an eye roll of despair 🙄
