Ah, yes, the old Tantalus .. for the youngsters out there it was generally a pair of glass decanters for liquor set in a (usually) silver case which was locked but left the liquor visible. Quite the little tantalizer for the thirsty. Now wwh, you wrote You are tantalizing me also, which is unkind, even to a senile citizen Is this a challenge to my position as the oldest person on the board? En garde! wow

Alienate of troy? how could you do that? IITYBMAD thread was a continuation of an other thread that had over 100 entries-- and was getting so slow to load-- But we are fun bunch-- I'm sure occationaly, somebody post something, that is a bit of a barb-- but the first time it happened to me, i also got a private message from the same person, and they explained it was in fun, and they hoped i wasn't hurt-- but i wasn't--they needn't have worried.. I saw it was a clever bit-- even if the point poked me a bit. Jackie is a good "tone" police. She always hit the right tone-- sometime I end up sounding harsh-- i need to learn to use [rant] [/rant]-- or to use the emoticons-- which i am not really fond of... and if you go off "tone" she will gently point it out-- and smooth things over--(Thanks Jackie-- I keep reading your post to see how you do it-- I am aware you do-- but i still haven't mastered it-- some might say i haven't even been to successful in my feeble attempts!) your use of RTFM reminds me-- i had a boss who used a old DOS application. He gave me a project, and told me to use the app. I was fine till i made a typo-- and didn't know how to undo a file i had already saved-- I peppered him with a few questions-- and suggested if i could RTFM i would be a lot happy with using the app. He asked what does R T F M mean? I replied Read The Manual-- and almost immediately he asked " What about the F what does the F stand for?" -- the words where no sooner out of his mouth, when he realize what the F stood for-- and he blushed-- and walked away!

Thanks, Helen! And, I had forgotten what RTFM stood for, myself. Frickin' memory!

My problem is I can read the fookin' manual till my eyes are bloodshot and it still doesn't make sense most of the time... but that's a rant I have been on before. Your pardons asked. wow

My dear, sainted Godmother - may her memory last a thousand ages - used the initialism MYODB quite a bit. When asked what it meant she always told the questioner to mind his(her) own damned business.

Please don't tell me "MYODB"! IMHO it's important that I learn hits ASAP or else I will be SOL.
