I'm busy, busy, dreadfully busy

You've no idea what I have to do.

Busy, busy,

shockingly busy

Much, much too busy for you.

 

We're busy,

busy,

dreadfully busy

You've no idea what we have to do.

Busy, busy, shockingly busy

Much, much too busy for you.

 

'Cause we're busy, busy,

frightfully busy

More than a bumblebee, more than an ant.

Busy, busy, horribly busy

We'd love to help,

but we can't!

With nine sentences to reply to a thread, you could have said "YES it's pressed, or no it's not to my knowledge".

 

This would have covered a lot of bases. But now the "mystery" continues.

 

That would be hard to do if I never saw the email, wouldn't it? And "mystery" is what the boards thrive on. I'm sure next week there will be a string up debating what I had for breakfast in Chicago.

Errr....I'm not referring to the E-mail.

It may surprise you but I don't have access to your received E-mails. gossip.gif

Therefore do I really need to explain to you that I was not talking about your E-mails. confused-smiley-013.gif

I was talking about this thread. Although in fairness I didn't actually specify that I was talking about this THREAD instead of your E-mail as mentioning the very thread that I am posting in as the subject matter would tend to get a little boring.

 

Hopefully now I have used plenty of sentences to explain something that many already understood. gossip.gif

 

Many of us "rabid" and "bothersome" pro-disclosure supporters were told by various apologists that we should accept the ask and tell policy, made famous by yourself. smirk.gif

 

So we reluctantly abided by that as if we had much choice. confused-smiley-013.gif

Would have been beneficial to yourself to have kept that status alive and well.

 

So far you haven't......... frown.gif But you have found the time to post more than once.

Glad to hear the busy schedule is clearing up. thumbsup2.gif

Must be tough still being in San Diego boxing up ALL of that stuff....etc.. sorry.gif

 

Have a good one. thumbsup2.gif

I still have not seen a post where the book in question was listed.

 

Me neither!

 

Doesn't matter...regardless of whether or not anyone (including Matt) knows the book in question here, The Board demands Matt answer the question and tell us whether or not the book was worked on, and we demand the answer now (or at least within the next 12 minutes) or we're gonna go medieval on him!! lynch.gif
