This really needs to be answered soon.

I have told my sister about it and she has asked all the people in the pub she manages. This pub is located in Gympie, QLD, and it is full of miners and they are big bastards. She told them she got the question from me so I can’t show my face there… :eek:

It doesn’t matter that I live about 870 klicks away, I will visit her one day and they have LONG memories…

I NEED the answer…

O Great Moderators, can we make this thread “sticky” until the long-awaited Second Coming of Mittu, when he shall return with the answer on a great stone tablet? (That we will force him to swallow without benefit of water?)

Or build in special VBB code so that every time he checks in, all threads in all forums refer to this one until he answers the question?

Even better would be to stop posting on the thread completely and let it sink to the bottom. We only click on it because it’s popped to the top again and we think we have the answer.

If we all just leave it be, it won’t ever pop up again.

Dear **mittu** ,

Is there some reason why you communicate with the source of this nightmare by text alone? Call him and give him Fourteen Kinds of Grief in a Flagrantly Pissed-off Diatribe, and don’t let him hang up until you have an answer. Go by in person. Bring Fourteen Karloads\* of Goons in a Fighting, Punching Donnybrook.

\*See what this has driven me to?

On my own, all I could think of was “14 keys of G in a four-piano duet” (two pianos play in the seven keys of G, two play in G-minor)

It seems that **mittu’s** last posting in _any_ forum was in this very thread (posting #347) on December 22, 2006. Perhaps the next time he posts _any_ thread in _any_ forum we could remind him that he has forgotten us … and we’re not happy about it … not one bit. :mad:

**robardin**  
If **mittu’s** next posting is “I have an elegant solution for _14 k of g in a f p d_ but the message board margins are too narrow for me to post it”, then I think all of us are going to be something less than ecstatic. :mad:
