UNTRUE minus T UNRUE that which is rude, untie that which has been wrongly tied. Question: How did Luke get to UNREAL from your AROUND?

JJ: wofa's "unread" was the word I was working on.
I got to 'unreal' just by looking at the word. When I was in
the process of posting it, we had an electrical surge here,
and by the time I got the computer back on and posted it
endy's 'around' had not yet reached my email inbox. Logging
back on I still got 'unread' and posted 'unreal', and now
I see there was a 9 minute delay between endy and myself.
Sorry for the confusion, but 'unreal' was there when I
posted it. And yes, I do appreciate the correction. But
it happened unwittingly.

A den of latter day hippies here are rushing to post REEFERS. They think (chant) that the word "refers" REFERS to REEFERS. Good thing Mary Jane F -> T RESETS their internal clock and makes them move r e a l s l o w.

and if I'd been paying closer attention, I'd've noticed that STRESS intervened...
as such, I was dissuaded by J-J's post but should have found a way to

Sorry if I've caused confusion ...and I guess I should be sorrier that I didn't make it SISTER instead ...

and we're not trying to deceive but certainly our web occasionally gets
TANGLED
Geek alert: I think some of the problem may arise from setting "viewthread" as opposed to "viewflat," which could put some replies up higher than we expect, and out of sight.
