Yeah, we have to explain most things to 'them' slowy and with small words - otherwise though, they
ain't such a bad bunch.

That's not what Penny needed to understand - it was the construction of the sentence itself (more
than likely). Couldn't figure out what it was you were trying to say:

"You well at least I know how to flame on this newsgroup?"

See? Makes no sense.

Shaun aRe - Flame proof.

Unfortunately, you appear to be English _illiterate_. Penny's point was that your sentence does not
make any sense.

Nah, you just drew some flack is all.

or two of 'em, and the rest. Yup, that's covered it.

We need more Britainians here to ballance out the 'brainless ****** Merkins' to 'intelligent with a
sense of humour Brit' ratio. More than a bit.

"Note: Do not pick up this child - he was left here for a damned good reason".

Shaun aRe - Life is good, especially considering the alternative.

My buddy Adam says he wished his wife would have taken up cocaine rather than horses. "Be a heckuva

Let me clarify: that sentence makes no sense whatsoever, whether you are British, Canadian
or American.

"you well at least I know how"? Maybe the spell check turned Yeah into You or something...

whatever...

Do you? Well then you ignorant imbecilic old fart, stop thinking you're the centre of the universe
and go google for it like anyone with even a quarter of a brain would have done already.

Shaun aRe - A flame goes a bit like that, wot I just wrote up there - HTH! Heheheheh ',;~}~

(But you knew that already...).
