    I guess finding that has left you feeling not so sheepish! Never let someone pull the wool over your eyes with the correct spelling. But dont lambent your earlier guilt, its not a point to be moot on! (bet you cant find all the puns! ;))

                Hi Jon, I got a new laptop and I lost the link to "You know what". I tried to send you a private message but it seems you cannot that anymore. Can you send me a private message if you can? If it is not possible, I will just fire up the old laptop and copy the link by hand.

                        Thats not where it is. One of the choices when you open up a message (in between reply and view thread) is "send email"

                            Nope, you were competing; I evolved from pissed off, through slightly annoyed and now I’m a little bored.

                              With you? Don't be absurd. Competing with you would be like having a rock fight with someone standing at the bottom of a well. I admit to having had lots of fun at your expense, but that is because you made yourself into a figure of ridicule.

                                        Once again, you have lost any ability to hold my attention even to laugh at you. Answer me if you must, I know you need to, but don't expect me to read it.
