Yet it was a post that could hardly be overlooked.
(Maybe one point deducted from the Hogwash-lute for whoever overlooked tsuwms post? I hope Jackie is allright and did not both loose and forget the thrapple definition.)

Mantled times two? It was quite funny to read Faldage saying you had not mentioned the OED when the phrase B&M OED was clearly visible in your quoted post.
