When deleting a post, please opt to delete it permanently.

REASON: Posts deleted temporarily hold a Post #, then are deleted by moderators. Many muggles refer to posts by their number (which they should not do, see below). When posts are subsequently deleted, those numbers no longer correspond correctly.


When referring to a post, please create a link to the post as opposed to referring to it by its #.

REASON: Posts are deleted from time to time and almost always by the original posters. When deleted, subsequent posts' numbers are changed. Links are adjusted accordingly & will always refer to the correct post.

Also, providing a link to a post of interest makes it much easier for muggles to read the post with a simple click. Referring to a post by # puts an unnecessary burden on subsequent muggles to look up the post.

Hoping my Aha moment is the right one. Happy to be onshore so I can enjoy Sunday dinner with the family. Frozen Aperol Spritzes in the freezer to soon enjoy by the water. Cheers to all!

On shore…I think?

(That is to say, I’m pretty comfortable with my submission…just can’t see the beach for all the crowd/loiterers…heh!)

Not one person has that "e" word in their post. We're a kind bunch.

(And I've been vigilant.) @Bob cruise director

I seem to have seen someone who doctored it with a "pl" in the front...but no complaints here

I submitted. If I'm right it's a KAS1. Could be a red herring.
