Quote from Mr Subliminal:
Let me explain why you shouldn't feel dumb. As I see things, there were 4 categories of people :
(1) Those that knew what AFAIC meant and understood my post.
(2) Those that knew what AFAIC meant and didn't understand my post.
(3) Those that (initially) didn't know what AFAIC meant and understood my post.
(4) Those that didn't know what AFAIC meant and didn't understand my post.
I can't imagine anyone making it to category (3) to which I would assign the highest marks.
Next comes category (1), of which I'm sure there were a few.
Then I would rank category (4), which includes you, and finally category (2).
Nobody should feel dumb. Well, maybe bigbeech.
Thanks for the consolation, Mr. Subliminal, it is appreciated.
But you see, there was a time in my life when I would have been in category (3). I was much younger, and very sharp with puzzles. I could always decipher a well coded message. I'm deifinitely not as sharp as I used to be.
Give me another chance sometime to solve a clever puzzle.
Those newbies, poor bastards, they will never know
