Very kind. I shall hold them in trust for the port drinkers of New York.
Excellent. Note space-saving measures taken here to display my pleasure with this arrangement.
Have we explained the Time-Tunnel effect to jdaw1 yet?
I don't think you've even explained it to me.
We went through this one evening, it got sort of psychedelic after about ten posts.
Ah, yes, I remember it well. I can confirm that Jdaw is aware of the phenomenon in PMs but I'm not sure it has been acheived in a thread. Has it?
Well, he just needs to see it properly then, doesn't he?
You're right. It is only fair, isn't it?
Fairness and equality is what this site is about.

For what little it’s worth, using the current ThePortForumRed style on my Mac screen, it still works with another eleven nested quotations. A whole case though, a dozen, is one too many.

This reference to " The Waltons " cannot be considered as meaningless as It influenced a portion of T.V. viewers world wide , and therefore should be stricken from the present thread . . .
