I fear that the secret of posting an empty post shall remain unknown to all but the serengyrating few.

This touches on YART status, since it was a proposed solution to the oh-woe-is-me*-too-many-posts-to-read crisis that struck this board some months ago. It was, at best, roundly ignored as utterly useless.

*Dative of possesion.

Jackie, thanks for the explanation. It's all clear now; obviously a post-post deletion. Roger Wilcox.

And I think Faldage was referring to something else, but that would be a big-time multiple YART were I to mention it [duck]

as long as we're just swotting the tse-tse here ASp, is there some explanation attendant to the use of roger wilcox (as opposed to wilco), and congratulations on gravitating to the e-less lexical emoticon.[wooo-woo-woo]

tsuwm,

It's a reference to the classic cartoon "Super Chicken." I thought *everyone would recognize it.

Yes, it finally hit me that the e is redundant (and thanks again for teaching me "attendant" - the important thangs I don't forgit).


Finally, congrats on your OldHandhood, Faldage.
