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.

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

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

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?)
