Strangely, despite the ‘no posts’ it’s still possible to send Irene a personal message by clicking on her name.

Although there’s no guarantee that she’ll ever receive or read it, it’s certainly worth a try.

It is Irene who has no posts to her name

Christine is the one who originated the thread 15 years ago

Let's hope she returns more swiftly this time............. ;-)

Christine,

Looks like Christine is not a member anymore as she has 0 posts to her name. It's unlikely that she will see your reply after 12 years. You could try clicking on her name and sending a private message. If she still has the same email address that she registered with Genes then she will be notified of your message, but I wouldn't hold out much hope of contact.
