Stave, there is a reason why "Bob" and "tie" are words that don't share a single character :)
Damned straight. :)

Although I do "tie" my shoes when I wear my Sketchers or boots when I work outside... :)

Not only for Fabien. Be nice to get this whole thing nailed down.
Issues regarding Rybka are moving faster now. Thanks to you
and others involved.

Best,
Gerold.

I don't know that it will make any big difference. There are always going to be clones/derivatives. I've been dealing with Crafty derivatives for many years. Although I had thought (until Zach got too nosey) that I had finished seeing them. But we are back to square zero there as well, now. :)

So finishing this investigation will likely only lead to the start of the next one. Too many programs. Too many ethically-challenged people.

Moderation please ban Steve at once how dare he sign on behalf of CNN and not the BBC!
I've been to England a couple of times, and to Paris once. Watching a steady diet of BBC while I was over there was enough to convince me not to return again. :)

You should have signed that

"Dr. Hook and the medicine show regards..." They did write/record that song... :)

My daughter was dating someone years ago, and when one of the Dr. Hook songs played, she started singing along. Date put a Dr. Hook album in the CD player and she knew 'em all. He asked her how? She told him "My mom, dad brother and I used to travel from Birmingham AL to State Line MS to visit my grandparents, a 4 1/2 hour drive. My dad used to play Dr. Hook all the way. Both ways. I know ever song they ever sang."

Freaker's ball regards...
