Dear AWADers :
I opened my private messages and there it was ... the sender noted as "wordsmith."
I had sent off a message asking who the 2,000 poster is.
- And wordsmith responded!
The Poster 2000 Child is "satin."
All that reporting experience finally came in handy again. You want to know an answer? Ask the question !

And I did remember to say "please." Now I will send a Thank you reply!
Welcome SATIN. Hip Hip Hurrah!
wow

Hmm. I wonder why that has never worked for me? I have sent a couple of private messages, and emailed as well, every time remembering to say "please", and have never had a response of any sort, other than an autoresponder letting me know that my email was received. Oh well, nobody ever said life was fair.

I am duly awed and humbled.

Max, regrettably, you will never be a wow. Get over it.

AnnaS gently remonstrated Max, regrettably, you will never be a wow. Get over it.

Aksherly, I pretty much have. It's only when those with whom he does deign to correspond mention it that the old petulance suppurates anew.

Wow, you are now the board's official high priestess, having the ear of The Great and Powerful Anu.

Let us know what sacrifices you expect.

'Scuse me, but I beg to differ. There is one (at least)
here who has spoken to The Great And Powerful on the phone.
Literally had his ear.

Who is to say that the person who responded to wow's inquiry was really the real Anu? Anyone can poke a message out on a keyboard and anyone can sign any name they like.

Sincerely yours,

Elvis Presley

Not wishing to deviate but ....
....
Funny how some people seem to think that this bulletin board is about the discussion of words. Some people have suggested that ocassionally some people wander off the subject. As I never wander off the subject of words, I can't imagine what they are talking about. I'm sure that this thread demonstrates our total commitment to the subject of words. We'll have to re-visit it when we get to the next Millennium, poster MMM.

In the meantime, we could leave Father Steve on lookout duty in case there is a "second coming". I'm sure that no-one would doubt his credentials, WoW can keep the lamps trimmed.

Dear, dear Max ...
Do not be upset, you sweet thing, perhaps it is that my age and The Great Anu's respect for my hard-won white hair caused him to reply. Such a gentleman, our Anu.
Dear sweet Jackie : I am a rug under your feet. I think I just got lucky.
Much love to you all for your kind comments ... (Namaste emoticon to all)
Aloha,
wow
