Is XMTS a better place with no Panache?

I for one miss his wisdom, wit and wackiness, but we have enough of the latter still here in the person who started this thread. But it is a different place for the lack of many who have stepped back from previous prominence, not to mention you yourself Grant. The forum started small and grew over time to what it was and is, and like an ornamental bush after autumns pruning it may look a bit thin and unsightly only to grow new leaves as the spring turns to summer and lush rich new foliage and blooms take over.

Secondly, with the above quote from your OP demonstrating your gross lack of knowledge of proper grammar and a grasp of the English language in general, I would hope that you would never darken one of my posts with your misguided "spelling corrections".

Shall we call it even now?

Jeff might I remind you that my words are that of "Middle English" which falls exactly between "Modern English" and "Ancient Gibberish".

Secondly. Who do you think you are, Panache? He kept correcting me all the way to the insane asylum.

Yes, hes a snappy dresser...
Yes, his feathered plume tickled my fancy...
Yes, any man that can make a pith helmet look manly...
Yes, I'll buy the man a gin & tonic...
Yes, just so that someone will shut Grant the %&$# up!
Yes, if it prevents that insufferable Grant from getting a kilt check...
yes, because I have a brilliant story idea where Grant get's his comeuppence...
No, I mean yes!

As a scholar of Middle English, and familiar with various forms of ancient gibberish, I will hold my tongue(s) and ignore the egregious syntax both of the original post and of the phrase "my words are that" ...
