Great opportunity here to throw some of your words back at you: 'If you dream of becoming a wit, I'd suggest you don't yet give up the day job.'

Not really. I was just trying to be disruptive. You know, tit for tat and all that.

Again, not really. As I say, it's tit for tat. Look it up if you don't understand.

Understanding what you write is half the problem.

The other half of the problem for you is doing the right thing with all the that hard-won knowledge you gain from my brilliant posts!

The knowledge I have gained from your posts could fill the back of a postage stamp.

Yes, it's amazing what you can fit onto the back of postage stamps nowadays. I heard one guy even managed to cram the whole of the Bible or something onto one; of course, he used a special miniature thingummybob, but I'm sure if you write small enough you'll be able to squeeze a few percent or so of the (many) points I've made into the confines of, say, a book of ten Second Class stamps (no need to get First Class ones, is there). I've got to ask, though, why don't you just get a few A4 ring binders, stacks of narrow feint A4 pads, and a few dozen pens?
