Bloomin' 'eck, Nick! Are you becoming the New Gilliver - replying to
posts from 2004 and 2005?

What's going on? You've left me wondering what the 'eck you are
following up!
'S'not fair. Google Groups will only let me reply to messages < 2
months old. I can't do any decent Gillivering with that!

But it's interesting, isn't it, that once a "legal" connection with an old
subject has been made, google connects it with the original thread, however old
it may have been. I wonder if there might be a way for googleistas to exploit
this?

You still haven't answered the original question, Gillivering Nick. Did you just decide to clear out your old Drafts mailbox? Or you felt like a Gilliver? (That sounds wrong). I liked your temporary sig, anyhow :-))


It was a pretty fine Gillivery, I must say. The one thing which did let it down was that your standard text included such helpful information as the date of the original quotation. Thus depriving your readers of much confusion as they try to remember the thread.
