fridge.

I also don't have an anti-caravan. Are they any good?

Well, see, when an anti-caravan neutrino comes in to contact with a caravan
neutron, the energy released is enough to power part of Stoke on Trent for
some centuries.

Piece of ****, too. Or you can do one click and a key stroke. That works.

out of curiosity, are you a member of any off-internet turn-up-in-person
forums? Beer / women / toys / etc are a regular topic of conversation at
my SCUBA club.

its a long time since most of us argued to minimise fluff to save us the
cost of downloading it. Since then its become mainly habit. Big binaries
and spam are one thing, something relevant to most users of a forum is
another.

if you want to get the best of a powerful system, learn to use the
powerful tools. Its not like we charge you for them.

You clearly choose not to purge read messages regularly.
