| 55861 | 2002-06-25 10:18:00 | I think you have answered your own question. You are a autochthonous part of this thread! ;\ |

| 55862 | 2002-06-25 10:23:00 | Feel free Boing old son, but remember the rules: Posts to Press F1 must be either: A) On topic B) Off topic C) Neither on nor off topic D) Both E) None of the above On that basis you can pettifog to your heart's content. Life's a beach, but only if you're Mexican. Billy 8-{) ?:| :D |

| 55863 | 2002-06-26 03:13:00 | Hmmmmmmm! Nice one Jen, but an interesting use of autochthonous. We don't really have enough information about mcboing boing to attribute such an epithet to his existence. Being a self confessed pettifogger, he (she?:|) might object. Cheers Billy 8-{) :D :D PS. Do you mind if I use autochthonous as my word of the day sometime? I'm always on the lookout for unusual words with common meanings. I'll attribute it to you when I do (if I can remember where I got it from). |

| 55864 | 2002-06-26 08:19:00 | autochthonous = true inhabitant of an ecosystem It could be taken as a compliment actually (if she/he didn't object to being associated with the thread contributors) :D PS* feel free to use the word in any manner as long as you can pronounce it! :D Jen |

| 55865 | 2002-06-26 08:47:00 | Even though (at this stage, and as far as I know) I am only a self appointed pettyfogger I feel (as only a pettyfogger can) obliged to point out that as of today forthwith I have applied to have the word autochthonous copyrighted to my name (McBoing-Boing) and if granted will charge a $1 royalty (+GST) per usage. Not for the sake of filthy lucre per se but to protect this very special word from over usage. Funds will be used to build a small 20 bedroom beach house (in Mexico) for devotees of autochthonousism. | mcboingboing (516) | ||
| 55866 | 2002-06-26 10:54:00 | I wonder ?:| Did the subtlety of life's a beach, but only to an autochthonous Mexican perhaps escape my pettifogging correspondent? Oops, forgot to pay ($1, ka-ching, there yer go). Cheers Billy 8-{) :D :D |

| 55867 | 2002-06-27 06:23:00 | I'm sure that Gerard McClelland, alias mcboingboing, won't mind my butting in here and adding some more pettifogging! ;\ Message for Billy: Did you get my e-mail sent on 25/6/02 18:35? I managed to set up the Hotmail address and it tested out OK. My address is: btpacemaker@hotmail.com It wasn't supposed to be almost the same as yours, I found that out too late. Cheers exLL |

| 55868 | 2002-06-27 09:40:00 | By all means exLL aka: Atilla the Hun, Ghenghis Khan, Alice the milk lady etc etc butt in away!! But in future please remember that the soon to be formed Mexican society of beach pettifoggers insist their members be addressed by their more important Mchyphenated names . Billy T . Thanx for the $ that was wired over to Mexico as the first down payment thru Gringo Realtors M . R . I . M |

| 55869 | 2002-06-28 02:08:00 | Well I'll be darned! I tried to get btpacemaker and Hotmail wouldn't let me so I went to the variation. Clearly you have friends in high places! Yes, I received your email and have sent a reply. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
