Bullocks,the original question was answered many times over before it drifted off topic,and if anything this ranting about trademe adds charecter,even if it has rapidly worn thin. 		metla (154)

Its begining to bore the ranter, because he dosent like repeating him self.

For those who dont read all the topic before they post, he is being nice to them, and answering civily.

He is also trying not to get into personal scraps which, some of the posters are trying to instigate.

More on T serious topics are required. where is version 2.

270711 2004-09-10 10:16:00 Good points you have there Elephant and I agree with you,
but I certainly wasn't implying that you were one of the ranting hijackers.The reply you gave was helpful I thought,and cleared the air regarding the number on the tower and what it represented.
As for no follow up reply from the original poster,maybe he saw how the thread had panned out and decided not to bother.Who knows,I certainly wouldn't if it was my thread that had suffered the same fate.
Still,I think a bad precedent is setting in and the quality of the forum in general,will suffer for it.

No. I certainly did not think so.

I would have thought so. I started my post when there was just one question. However the phone rang and by the time I had answered that and answered the door two or three others had given a similar reply before I actually sent the post. All these posts were similar to mine within a quarter hour or so.

Well I have no knowledge as to what is the mind of the original poster.

There are three words in the above paragraph. "MAYBE" and "WHO KNOWS"

Godfather in earlier posts referred to a crystal ball and I must admit that I don't have one of these. If I had two then I guess I would make love very gently. :-)

The quality of this forum sometimes leaves a little to be desired. I might add that I have been guilty of errors in the way I disagree at times. 		Elephant (599)
