The thing is ... what I meant was ... that is to say ...
Ahem ....
Seems that when someone posts and posts the same or similar over and over then silence ... in effect ignoring them is the "hint" best used.
Silence in other instances may mean any of the variations discussed here.
Clearer?
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Dear Jackie: do you mean to tell me that you and tsuwm having been depriving us of your best ideas? If so, please dip into the treasury for the best jewels.'Scuse me again--more than likely, Tsuwm has jewels. I do not. And I rather imagine he would prefer to keep his.  Signed, GQ (hi, belM.)

Unquestionably, tsuwm has jewels that he would not care to put in a treasury. But I would expect that his treasury of ideas might be somewhat depleted, while his store of erudition has increased.

The one treaure in tsuwm's possession that would ever induce larcenous thoughts in my saintly cerebellum is that which, appropriately enough, is contained in a "jewel case."

If justice were done, tsuwm would need a large bank safety deposit box, not a mere jewel case.

Dear Max: In my estimation, calling the plastic containers for CD's that so infuriatingly refuse to open "jewel cases" is a detestable misnomer.

Bien non Bill. They refuse to give up their treasure is all. Jewel case is thus perfectly legitimate.

When I can use only one hand, I want a case that will obey the command "Open, says-a-me!"
