I've suggested to a friend of mine, someone I met five years ago, though I knew his son quite well in school, that he comes take a look at this forum to see if it'd to his liking(?).
Now Bill's a leader rather than a follower, and as yet I've not found his email address to aid him finding this website, (I emailed it to his son instead, so can't be absolutely certain he'll forward it, and his son has lived all his professional life in New Zealand, hence we lost touch etc.), so he might not join, in fact its quite likely he won't, as he didn't jump at my suggestion this morning.
However, if he does join, and take part in discussions, he's got a very quick brain, and not just for his age, and some sporting achievements in his youth to relate, (one of only two boys in the history of our school to play first team rugby union four years in succession!).
Even the sporting achievements are overshadowed by musical talent, as a violin player, almost to concert standards, he plays piano pretty well too, with or without sheet music and so on.
I hope we see him here, and he meets or communicates with more nice folks across the globe, and he told me earlier, a lady my age we both met in a very well known bar locally called the "Snowgoose", has kept in touch with him due to their mutual interest in music, (she lives in France BTW, but not bad to make a friend when you're ninety odd is it).
