What do you mean exactly by 'How can I get to read topics'? I'm a new member here and I can read create topics in the WELCOME AREA (but nowhere else) and can read topics anywhere. What is it that you expect/desire to be able to do?
All posts are made on behalf of, or referring-to, a paranoid internet buddy who does not wish to post on this forum directly. He or she reads the forum and tells me what to respond. I sometimes paste his or her communications in verbatim to save time (and therefore these posts naturally use 'I', 'me' and so on). Other times I write as myself and refer to my buddy's exploits explicitly ('my friend', and so on). I do not know my buddy's real name or location, we met on another forum. I am basically a member of this site as a human proxy for an anonymous other.
