ABeditor:. You pulled my reply cos i said what's braes please explain? what's this - hate xyzzy week? that's not the first response of mine you've inanely pulled this week e.g. 'Wot no reply...' in Animals beginning with n - and publicly nagged at me on another post - touch�. If that's the thanks i get for interfacing your previous rant/debate well you must be sick (of me) or something. ;-)

[xyzzy@bok]

Anyway, i've now decided that this rant is petty and tatty and that your editing of my stuff is your affair so do please, carry on - and feel free to pull this too - i'm more thick skinned.

p.s. I bet i'm not the only one who didn't know what a brae was.. i apologise for my stupidity :-)

xyzzy - your reply was deleted because it wasn't an answer. You wrote, to the best of my memory, "I don't know what an electric brae is, have you checked your spelling?"

No answer, then, but as this was the first reply you thereby moved it from 'Unanswered' to 'Answered' and therefore made it less likely that the (perfectly reasonable) question might get answered. If you had taken a moment to check, you would have found that the spelling was perfectly correct.

If you don't know the answer, then please (and you know this, xyzzy, don't answer! - AB Editor

Xyzzy I'm pleased to see your response to your own question, and really glad that you've calmed down. I too saw that your response to the *brae* question had been deleted but I guess that it was because it was very negative and was quickly followed by some helpful answers from others. I ask you ( nicely & politely ) to think back to your answer to that question and also cross reference it to the link below which is a point that you recently made to me. I guess that you was being sarcastic to me, but I didn't take offence.

Keep posting; many of us get answers pulled or edited, and someone has to decide what's proper or not. x x x

Lighten up Xyzzy. On a happier note, have you noticed that Spellmister is back ? Can't wait to see his answer to "showering after six"

[xyzzy@bok]

No chijiki, i wasn't being sarcastic to you, just reminding, as you were here too.. - i looked up brae in my dictionary and it just said riverbank so i thought 'electric riverbank?' and decided to ask what a brae was.. had i googled i would have been enlightened; a cautionary tale for us all ;-)
Yes Strozzi, Spelmaster is back.. and i'm cockahoops about that; a charactor with a bit of color there :-)
