I saw one of Pebble's posts briefly show up here & quickly get "deleted

from server". I think it must be naughty words to blame-- but taken out

of context! A Pebble is too tiny to have poisonous, Australian spiders

hiding underneath!

Thanks or Good Luck,

There may be humor in this post, and,

Naturally, you will not sue,

Should things get worse after this,

Re: Yikes and yowsers

 

I'll have to follow up and read that thread Gary, I'll not have anyone on my

team dropping the ball! I would say it's on the BP end.

This sort of thing happens so rarely (only once before to me, and in this

group too) but am puzzled as to the whys and wherefores of it all.

Thanks

Re: Yikes and yowsers

 

Yeah Rod, don't see any of the changed subject lines for PCR and Bill,

though PCR said he saw them briefly before they were 'deleted from server' -

he thinks I was kicked off for my language!!

Glad the air-con was working today at work - 40+

Re: Yikes and yowsers

 

It may also be as PCR says, that they did appear briefly on the MS servers

but were deleted, probably just a SNAFU. Only way I could tell would be to

reset the NG, and I'm not going to do that. I'm just not bored enough to be

interested, <s>.

Re: Yikes and yowsers

 

I'll just trot this big new-computer box put to the guy that's just this

minute plowing our circle. Come to think of it, I've got three of those

boxes handy.

 

Not sure when FedEx can make it out of town, though. (Kidding...It's not

*that* bad, yet.)

[content-justified top-posted intro]

 

This thread has FINALLY caught my attention. Sometimes it's a

waste, sometimes it almost makes one glad to be alive...

 

As you know, Gary, you're KF'd, as I may be by you, but this

little snippet needs to be printed in gold and framed... Was

worth the price of checking this so-far-no-end-in-sight

pointless-as-it-may-be thread...

I'm sure there are cultural & other Australian differences involved too.

Your dictionary may be altogether different! Maybe send a dictionary &

one redback to Terhune for inspection. He'll forward them to Redmond if

necessary I'm sure! Him or Brian A!

Re: Yikes and yowsers

 

Sorry, I forgot to explain... Note that SNAFU, like many such American

acronyms, comes from the military. FUBAR is another one that gets heavy use.

Nice, precise, and easy to mark on equipment.

Didn't realise that these acronyms had military connotations! Thanks Gary
