One can copy this simply by right click the subject and select 'copy link' I agree - I had already commented that before adding to Bugs & Suggs (see Re: Off topic: New icon in Reply - View Thread line in messages - C# Discussion Boards[^]). Guess how I copied the link!

Aaarrrggg! :mad: Not being British and also not one to follow the royal family very closely I thought he was King Charles II. Had I bothered to look it up I probably would have solved it. :-O I don't know why a digit in the answer would be invalid, but I'm certainly no expert. So, in my opinion, nice clue! :thumbsup:

It appears in the Windows Explorer folder context menu - even the horrible new Windows 11 one - so it's not too hard to find. :) "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer

A door facilitates ingress and egress; a locked door hinders it. Entrance and exit may be nouns but can equally be verbs, unlike ingress and egress. I've come across "for example" being contentious before, with or without parentheses. I've seen "perhaps" used to convey similar meaning with less ambiguity. Anyway, as Randor demonstrated, clearly solvable! :)

Pipped by @PKFox, but correct. Well done! To be fair, I hadn't heard of the word either, until it appeared in a newsletter from newsletter@howtogeek.com on 27th July which said Did You Know? The eulachon, a fish found in the Pacific Northwest, is a slender but very fatty fish known as the “candlefish” due to the way indigenous people would dry the fish and then burn them as a candle-like source of light. It was the initial letters (EULA) that hit me as the idea for the clue.
