BranShea Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 5248 Loc: Netherlands, the Hague	Originally Posted By: twosleepy You got me stumped, Bran. What the heck is threeting? error,error, error .

To maintain obstinately against denial or contradiction; also, to contend or argue against (another) with obstinacy; to chide; as, he threaped me down that it was so. [Prov. Eng. & Scot.] --Burns. [1913 Webster]
