Dear SIfkaJB, I feel I must commend you for your effort to touch base with the denizens of the Computer Learning thread, a place where leveragable mindshare lives and flourishes. Your extensible repository of computer knowledge adds much synergy to this community. You are truly a paradigm of value added knowledge and your repurposeable use of valuable bandwidth marks you as a true envisoneer. I also liked the way that you leveraged that post with the HP free paper add on. A stellar example of how to incentivize text communication. However, I hope that the liberal use of the word bull in your missive does not unduly stimulate the libido of our faithful thread manager thecow. Sincerely, DM

Q: I frequent pubs in the UK and frequently get requests for Bullfighter. Is this another Yank software tool that doesn't recognize the Queen's English jargon? We've included British spellings of common bull terms. However, we may have missed a few terms, just as you may have missed a few pubs. Be sure to submit British bull terms we've missed. dc.com I'm so glad to hear the Americans have had the broad mindedness to think of us over here. Different lingo and all. "just as you may have missed a few pubs." What a cheeky blighter! I expect it's probably just a natural reaction though.
