kelli - ran 2 miles a day for 2012, aiming for the same for 2013 Posted Jan 10, 2002
I got here seconds after the question turned up (for the first time ever I think) but was totally stumped, don't even know where to stick another letter (beginning, end, somewhere in the middle). 20 minutes later and there is still no answer from any of the usual suspects. What is going on?!

Marjin, After a long time of procrastination back lurking Posted Jan 10, 2002
Greebo, you're back!!
Sure the question is right?
I would say the "S" should be left out!

Yay, the Greebmeister returns!
Hmmm, ascending series, something in common perhaps? Let me think about it.

No No No - the answer is T followed by another T
It's a sequence that goes like this ....
Big Cats (Except Greebo) Kiss Quite Sloppily With Their Tongues
Welcome Back Greebo 
did you miss us - we missed you

Gnomon - time to move on Posted Jan 11, 2002
And I see Granny Weatherwax got there first with M. These are the prime numbers: B=2, C=3, E=5, G=7, K=11, Q=17 etc. The missing one is M=13.
Welcome back, Greebo!

GreeboTCat Posted Jan 11, 2002
Well done Granny Weatherwax.. a point to you for answering M; these are letters which occupy prime number positions in the alphabet: 2, 3, 5, 7, etc.
Yes me did miss you all very...very much... ~huge grope huggle... snigger~

, by the way greebo, was that meant to be a ~huge grope huggle ~ or a ~huge group huggle~ (either one's fine by me, its just I like to know whether I'm being groped or not).
