a propos of the other thread, I commend these to the group - http://tinyurl.com/o2neawr Steve But but but - I don't think 'apropos of' is correct. ;-) Apropos as in, 'with reference to' or 'in this regard' or 'opportunely' doesn't take 'of'.

It is a very bad idea to open more links in a browser instance than you absolutely have to - one thing that you may not realise is that any site that you link to potentially has access to much of the data you communicate to or obtain from the others. I haven't worked in that cess pool for a couple of decades, but I know that it is merely different in detail and none of the original design faults have been corrected. I recommend that you kill and restart your browser frequently, and never access a 'privileged' site (e.g. one where you are ordering things) in the same session as more general browsing. And, for geeks, running your browser in its own virtual machine or chroot ghetto is well worth the effort! Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

No trouble getting out of it at all, but I did like the There, They're,
Their Mug, so few people know which are which. Rather like the apostrophe. I actually saw one yesterday after the 's' in the correct place. ......... Gents' Toilet ....
