Reassure your Father that there is no pressure to post on the forums, but most people find that at sometime they want to express their opinion about a thread. That is the time to join in. I think I was first a member for a good few weeks before I made my first post on the forum. Now look what's happened, they cannot keep me off.
Incidently, it is a well known fact that the over 60's are the greatest users of home computers and surf the net as if they were born to it. I think it is because with increasing lack of mobility it is a way of keeping in touch with like minded people.
