Requesting help!

There are many features of Blue Wave to love, but the ability to have only one
quote header for all message areas is not one of them.

 > I would absolutely HATE to have to use "DaH jIbwIj bISay'nISmoH".

 in> Good, since that is meaningless. You have managed two errors

*WHAT*??  How the....  hold on.....  Ugh.  These idiot tera'ngan keyboards!

 > rut targh Dachargh SoH, rut SoH Duchargh targh

 in> Well said.

In light of these events, it bears repeating.  Perhaps we could adopt it as a
new replacement proverb.

 in> Ummm. That should be {rav bIngDaq}. "The floor's area-under".
 in> There is no call for creating a new compound word here.

That's one of the habits I'm trying to break.  I backslide from time to time.

(I'm not sure what your first sentence means.  "When I live nine years", but
is the qoHna' the subject of that phrase?  "When I, the definite fool, live
nine years..."?  Then, "my father has died (small death? death bone?)."  What
am I missing?)

 in> So, have you been practicing your replacement proverbs as well?

I do have {HIvqa' veqlargh} memorized. <g>

Yes...  basted in a honey-lemon sauce....

 in> So THERE!

SO THERE BACK AT YOU! <g>
