I have a feeling that Mr Wright may be about to receive his just deserts for flagrant misuse of the glossary thread: flagrant misuse punished by fragrant missus, If I'm not mistaken....

Probably, Ron. I was lying on the floor using the laptop which was charging. The missus was on the couch on her mobile. I'd just finished a remote session with a Norton techie fixing a PC Security problem (Auto-Protect was off and wouldn't fix) and had to keep the laptop charged while he was poking around. Foolishly I thought I'd check R3ok before switching off the laptop..... and there she was, the Marigold Girl  |

I think what I'm going to do now is give up any thought of my 5000th post being significant in any way and repeat one of my own favourite celebratory
I do hope it brings some pleasure. I may return and edit it some time but I do rather like it just as it is.
H ( prefix) A numeral sometimes used before an endless string of Zeros by those who, in wanting to indicate the number '5000', are taken by the urge to exaggerate. |

...and invariably end their 'O' string with a 'n', if the viewer has the patience to wait and/or is disposed to appreciate the cyber-calligraphic artistry in evidence.

But did you like the full stop?
I haven't counted the Os. I wonder if there are 5,000? Somehow I doubt it...

'O' string ( n) Garment worn by people in need of something considerably longer than a 'G' string. n ( lit. slang) A mark of punctuation replacing a full stop used by those who, in writing numbers of higher value than 4999, express syntactically the visual termination of their otherwise inexorable propensity for exaggeration |

A prime example of self-fulfilling punctuational philosophy as regards the full stop/ period, amply demonstrating the requisite post-modernistical strategy of self-contradiction and wit as agents of cultural obfuscation. |
