Re: 200tq fixed :)
Our Brother Bob Myers tries valiantly to provide a clue to our new,
brother Bill, of Caps-Lock Advantaged fame. Alas, Brother Bill does not
seem to have ever encountered an actual "Clue" before, and seems unsure
of what to do with it...

Yer Kindly ol' Unka Bart suddenly realizes that the problem is that Brother
Bob, having forgotten his handy-dandy two-by-four, was thus unable to capture
Bill's attention, and thus; his fingers tightly applied to the Caps-Lock
key, ol' Bill obviously lost his grip on that slippery ol' clue thingee...
Fear not, Brother Bill, Yer Kindly ol' Unka Bart is here with another one for
ya. Now take your fingers off that pesky ol' Caps-Lock for long enough to
ensure that this one doesn't slip from your grip like the last one.
Typing with the Caps-Lock is the internet equivalent of SHOUTING! It's
considered quite impolite among civilized persons, Bill, old rutabega, and we
here on the Quattro list are definitely, if nothing else, *Polite!*
"Oh sure," you respond, "it's true that no one actually called me a pea-brained
nincompoop with the manners of five year old; no matter how much I might have
*deserved* it; but how can you claim to be *Polite?* I mean, no one's ever
showed me his badge..."
No, no, Bill, you thinking of "Police," we're talking about *Polite;* as in
"courteous" or "Lacking rudeness..." Oh, shoot, I see these terms are foreign
to you...
Well, (sigh...) I reckon should have listened to the Bishop after all, he
warned me that this would be as pointless as trying to teach that pig to walz.
As he said, it didn't accomplish anything *useful*... and it did make the pig
all grumpy...
