Default Blonde question of the day - Referrals?????

Probably a stupid question and not gardening related, but what are Referrals ie those listed under an individual grape's profile in the forum info section???????

Hello Alison, I'm not absolutely sure but I think it is friends they have introduced to the Vine.

Hi Alison. It isn't a blonde question, there are probably lots of people thinking, phew! I'm glad that's been asked. I think it might be related to whether you have referred a post or thread to a mod because of its content.

I'm sure someone in the know will enlighten us at some point now the question has been asked.

Yes Alice is right - it indicates whether members have introduced others to the Vine.

I initially thought (many moons ago when I first joined) that these were people who had been rather naughty and had a black mark! So not a silly question at all Alison.

If it were the latter I'd be top of the table

Ta everybody, just noticed I had one against my name and, like Jennie, wondered if I'd done something wrong and if so wondered why I couldn't work out what it was!!!!

Well- I hadn't liked to ask either!!
Just one question........who on earth have I introduced to the Vine?????

I know I talk about it until people's eyes glaze over- but I'd like to know if I've actually persuaded someone else to join!!

Can I have another one then. Although the person concerned probably doesn't know it was me. I'll have to PM her and let her know.

In fact I should have three.

Like you Nicos I burble on to it and regularly let Freecycle and Plant Exchange members know about it if appropriate. I even give the website address to patients. How sad is that?

My husband insists I'm a natural platinum blonde. I was dark chestnut brown when we married, I don't use anything from a bottle. Something happened in between. I think he just doesn't remember what it was - the years maybe. He still has the dark hair he always had - there's just less of it. And does it matter ? NO ! He's still an angel man.
