Dear Mr. ?, I am an Uruk of Mordor, charged with the discovery of a number of valuable treasures within Moria. It has come to my notice that the mithril horde previously owned by Ori of the land of Moria has been found by one of our cave-trolls. Under our laws, the horde will be shared between our lord Sauron and the local Balrog, but so far neither knows the extent of the treasure. Sir, I come to you as a respectful businessperson in order that we may derive some profit ourselves from this venture, I would wish that I could arrange for the transfer of half of the find to yourself, costing roughly 20,000 silver pennies. From this amount, I will then arrange for a further such that 25% remains your own, 5% goes for sundry costs (including hire of strong Rohan horses for use in transportation), 5% is given in bribe to the cave troll to ensure the quantity reported to our respective Lords is adjusted, 65% belongs to myself and my fellow Orcs. In order that this be accomplished, I ask only that you provide detailsof:
- Your willingness to participate in this venture,
- Confirmation that you will not speak of this venture to anyone else, or wear any magic rings,
- Your race and land of residence,
- The location of your local Palantir or identity of your preferred message-carrying bird or beast,
- Your given name, and any name you are known by in the Western lands,
- The number of ponies you possess.
I look forward to your returning correspondence, which can be whispered to any passing magpie. I trust that you will ensure that no other dark feathered birds come to hear of this transaction. -- Ugluk Bako, Treasure Review Panel, Moria

Daniel, there are times that I wish, when I click the submit button, it would prompt me, "Are you sure that you wish this prose to be made available for the world to see?" It might just save me some embarressment from time to time. :-O:-O Chris Meech It's much easier to get rich telling people what they want to hear. Chistopher Duncan I can't help getting older, but I refuse to grow up. Roger Wright I've been meaning to change my sig. Thanks! Alvaro Mendez

What we need is a variable length holding pen before posts go live. You can read a post a hundred times before clicking submit, but it is only once you have committed that the error suddenly comes to the fore. For awhile I had a loop routine in Outlook that held back emails that I clicked Send on for a minute. If I did not cancel, then it would send. The act of clicking Send made me spot quite a few errors which I could quickly fix. But after awhile I became used to it and my brain realised Send was no longer a commitment, so I stopped noticing errors and only realised them once the 1 minute lag had kicked in. So maybe an unknown, changing length would be better? Who knows.

Is it just my faulty memory, or does the "Andreas" part of your nick get smaller and smaller over time...?
