Ed_Haynes Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) Sorry to see the lack of progress, especially on such a progressive sub-forum I'm tempted to set 1 October as a deadline (a clue for 20%). (But I won't.) Edited September 30, 2007 by Ed_Haynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Not sure whether I should answer specific questions. (But I WOULD like to keep this thread alive and REALLY WOULD like to believe someone could answer this question -- easier than most, I believe.)As the terms are usually defined, the answers are, respectively, "No" and "No'."Twenty Questions", anyone? The count stands at 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
