I can’t stand that poster; every teacher in the world thinks it is the cleverest thing ever invented by man. > > Valete, > Vox Imperatoris Seriously, what would it take for you to drop the Valete. I happen to think you’re an intelligent poster and would take the time to read your posts, but I can’t because that annoys me so much. Others have (mostly not unkindly) expressed the same. Pretty please? I’ll give you a present. ---

Now I’m both disappointed and shame-faced. :smack: I am so sorry, **Starving Artist**! As I was drinking some tea and reflecting, I remembered that it wasn’t you that blasted me. Apparently, my memory is long but not always accurate. :o But can we still square off? I was so looking forward to it. 😉 In the meantime, please accept my apologies. ---
