Who says you're the Richard that I was talking about when I said "it's
me that Richard is talking about". :-) I was talking about the Richard
that Mike was talking about. :-) I knew which Richard he meant even if,
at the time, he misattributed it to the wrong Richard, which I didn't
catch. Does that help? :-)

contributions", so be it, I guess. I've never been much good at winning
popularity contests, nor cared to be, if the truth be told.

Wait, what does "ticking off" mean? My idiomatic UK english isn't
perfect, I'm just an anglophile, not a resident, but I thought it meant
to give someone rather a hard time or speak to them in an angry fashion.
Here's what I said:

I certainly did not MEAN those words to come out harshly and if they
read that way, I apologise... Was that a ticking off??

| (...) Ah, but to which Rich was your comment pitched? I'm pretty sure that the only contribution I made to the Blue Hopper thread was to try and get it off loc.uk once it became a discussion of how to get cheap DVDs! I may be wrong, but I searched (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
