Dear Max: do you drop your haitches? I have a home, not an 'ome!

This brings up the closest thing I have to a complaint about this board. I really wish there was a list of the names of every person who has posted; clickable, of course.



actually (i'd include the TM sign here if i were clever enough to do so), there is indeed a way to perform such a search. Within the regular 'search' menu, type the user's name (in this case, Rubrick) then in the 'search by' area simply select 'search by username'. i did this, and found that his last post was sometime in august.

No indeed, but the "a" "an" thing with "h" seems to come down to euphony, and, to my ears, "an hallucination" sounds better than "a hallucination", just like "an historian" sounds better than "a historian", hOK?

AN hallucination = an abomination!
Tag, you're it!


P.S.--Thanks, Bridget96--it never occurred to me that one could search by username. The old dog ain't quite done yet.

Good man, Max. I would not love you half so well if you would weasel on a question of taste.I blow the house down with some "h's" and for no good reason I know of softpedal others. I will defend to the death your right to pronounce as you please, particularly when I differ.
Vive la difference!

>Was it really a recent post or just one that says March 2000?

It was a very recent post Jazz.
I just tried to LIU - and you know what -[biting her nails] - I COULD NOT FIND IT!

I have a slightly overactive imagination - but, but, but - I could NOT have imagined this. I know there is a recent post by Rubrick labelled stranger.

It doesn't show up in his profile's latest posts - but it is there!

(Why do I feel like that fellow from X-files)

Please give me time y'all. I will to look for it and bring it out from where it is hiding.
