If there were no adverts then this site would not be free. True?

Dear dmb,
Ah, I suspect that the moderator meant - no ads by posters on the forums (but then, you knew that, didn't you, you slyboots?).
Regards,
John

Dear John,
Have I missed something? What adverts by posters? The only advert I can recall is by a representative of the Cambodian Tourism Board. No names mentioned. I wouldn't want to advertise(without the appropriate fee)

So is dayalsingh the person who wrote the OP or the person it was addressed to?

Dear leeroy,
My assumption - I know, never assume - is that the answer to your question:

"So is dayalsingh the person who wrote the OP or the person it was addressed to?

is yes - meaning that dayalsingh most ptobably posted a message that the moderator believed was really an ad. So the mod deleted it and replaced it with his/her own message to dayalsingh (by the way, did you notice it was apparently dayalsingh's first posting?).

Regards,
John

Dear John,
It is always a good policy to never assume because if you do you might make an
ass out of
u and
me

Dear dmb,
I refrained from pulling that old chestnut out of the fire, feeling sure that someone else would have no such qualms. Bless you for validiating my belief.

John

Dear John,
The pleasure is all mine. What's wrong with old chestnuts?

Dear dmb,

"What's wrong with old chestnuts?"

They're stale - and, as an old nut myself, I know whereof I speak.
Regards,
John
