He/she is to be pitied.

You are to be congratulated on the anagram.

Please send my Prize Money in a plain brown envelope.

I've told you before that you are not eligible for the prize. So you know what you can do.

By the way. Your timing with the anagram was terrible. The problem was about to go away. Just ignore the inevitable broadside.

There's a discussion going on a few pages back about why we have to fill in our name and e-mail addresses. Somewhere along the line I opted for it to happen automatically but it doesn't always work, hence the "We" instead of Wendy in my last post!!

I'm on Windows XP and using Firefox.

Going back to our mutual "friend" - Ash will know his/her IP address so can easily ban it from the site if he chooses to.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you and Les40 are the only people to have their original posting and entire thread removed! Do you think Ash is really listening or cares.

Terry,

He must have listened (with one ear) to have removed the post anyway. As I said before, another site to which I regularly subscribe has exactly the same problem. The guy created it, then left it high and dry to run by itself - which these things rarely do, as we can see!

Such a waste. However, this one works for most of us - most of the time anyway.

Wendy,

The trouble is; where would you draw the line. There are some very serious minded dudes on this site. I can easily imagine almost anything offending some of them. Our long running "poser of the day" thread,which contains lots of filthy jokes would have to go.
Jo may be offensive but she is harmless really. Far more offensive stuff appears,often in latin. It's one thing to be insulted by a fruit bat and quite another for it to come from someone who usually seems sane enough,albeit pompous. Believe me,some of the previous rows have been quite something. But what the hell,overall it works and can be fun,even the rows.

you don't have to properly fill in either. you can use any name you like(hence jo,sue,doug stan and tracey etc - you could just use one letter)and for the e-mail address just put in one letter(any letter will do,a different letter every time if you like).

your automatic(autocomplete or autofill)depends on how you have your browser settings configured.
i'm not sure that it would be as easy as you suggest to ban an IPA.
I'm guessing that ash created this site as an exercise in programing,just to practise how to link a database with a forum with a blah blah,how to insert logos and links etc.
never finished(maybe never intended to be finished).
i,ve just been away and had me tea and realise that you will have said lots more but i'll post this anyway.
also,this is the only forum i've seen which will recognise html code,there are good reasons not to.

It's still a good site, for all that.
