I'd like to add my thanks to all my fellow POElanders fir their continual support, and their advice on taking pics off the site.  What a truly amazing family we are!  Every other site on the web must be green with envy!  Thanks, too, to all who brighten up the site with their beautiful pictures.  I just wish I had time to browse them all - every last one!

Every other site on the web must be green with envy!

Alan, they only have to Register, but yes you are spot on. What a great bunch we have here, but don't forget to continually harrass your family and friends to join POE because that's the route to survival. Other than that we might have somebody like the mighty Google wanting to buy the website, what then my friends?

Google?  Isn't that what's meant by 'a fate worse than death'?

Nope.  I just looked it up myself (but I'm not cheating because I've know what it was since I was a kid).  But I actually had the spelling wrong for the word I'm thinking of.  It's pronounced google, but it's actually spelled googol.

Without looking, isn't it something to do with an ongoing series of zero's?

Spot on, Ron!! Very good.  It's 1, with a hundred zeroes after it.  It's bigger than a zillion.

Well if you take the 1 from the front, that just leaves a long string of zeroes, and that's what Google is - a lot of nothing!!!
