This is part of the April fools joke. I would imagine someone added a post, and then deleted it - if only to make it seem as if this thread was showing up randomly. In any case, I do, on purpose, pronounce the "w" in sword.

It started off as a little April Fool's prank, but then I saw some very interesting old threads, and decided to resurrect them as an antidote to all the YART-talk. I would have got clean way with it except that some of those to whose posts I replied received email notification thereof. To their great credit, not one of those recipients spilled the beans, although one did promise to spill my blood! The email notification has also tripped up the person who has been trying to pull off the same stunt within the last half-hour or so. mea culpa, mea culpa, me Max culpa Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Je m'accuse #13280 04/02/01 11:44 PM Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 2,379 New York City I inselpeter Pooh-Bah inselpeter Pooh-Bah I Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 2,379 New York City Post destroyed by virus Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Je m'accuse #13281 04/02/01 11:47 PM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Jackie Carpal Tunnel Jackie Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky BY, my apologies (again). Though this isn't necessarily a bad thing to have done. You're right, Max, these things are interesting, as evidenced by the new posts added to them. But I think some people may have gotten a bit upset. But--good heavens--are you saying that, besides getting notified that your post has been replied to, it tells WHO did the replying?????? Ay di me, I did not know that!!!! Oh mercy, I have appeared then even more of a fool than I realized...
