If you want to respond to a comment, there is a "add comment" in the far right corner of each section. Click on that and type your response. If you would like to add a new topic, click on the "add topic" link also in the far right corner of each section and at the top of the page. This link will create a new section for you. There is also a "leave message" link at the top of every user page. Whenever you leave a message, an email is sent notifying them that you sent a message. They can click through to your message. If someone leaves you a message, you will get and email and there will be a orange bar at the top of WeRelate screens when you log on. Click on "diff" to see just that message.

Private email. If you are on someone's user talk page and would like to send a private email, there is an "email this user" link at the bottom of the page. Click on this link and enter a regular email message. It will be sent through WeRelate, no email addresses are exchanged.
