I’m looking back over some of the GQ threads I started years ago - I thought I was about to ask something I had asked years ago and I ended up jumping into a rabbit hole.

And what a lovely rabbit hole it is!

Cecil actually answered one of my questions (albeit not attributed to me). Anyway, I didn’t spot that first time around and nobody seemed to respond after it was finally resolved by the master.

Isn’t it fun reading old threads?  
I thoroughly enjoy it. Not my own but others.  
I will now be reading yours. So Cecil answered? I’ll start there.

Don’t worry, Its just a thing I do. 🙂  
Thx for sharing.

I made the mistake of reading a zombied post a while back.
