i can go along with that.

 

Not the Susan thing again! Why are you bringing that up?

 

Well there was a question about the proper punctuation/title/name of this forum. I thought Pauls comment here would answer the question to everyones satisfaction.
So you see, "Susan" it is.

 

I was just checking to see if you where (were) awake!...



Cochise,

 

it seems we think alike

btw, wilders is pronounced in the same way as wildebeest, but without the beest bit, and rs on the end. like this - Wilders.

Oh great, now you've gone and done it. Paul will see someone refer to him as "that Wilders beast", and we'll lose the forums.
