The link to the Week two thread didn't come up automatically, perhaps this is why some people haven't posted yet.

I've still got to do some research before doing mine, i take it Week two should be on my conservation list now.

Why (and how) am i getting the fact Master B is a gent scrolling across the top of my screen?

I am the only one?

This would be because I honoured Ormy by finally paying up my bet.

Either that or it's supposed to read "an honourable man and agent", in which case GreyDesk is confusing me with Tony Stephens.

B

Yakus, if you didn't get the link automatically, then that would be because you hadn't subscribed to the page prior to me starting the thread. You might not be subscribed still: I've no way of knowing until I start the thread for week 3

And as for the scrolling Master B. One, I'm getting a bit bored of it now. I mean we don't want to feed his ego too much, now do we. And two, the page code for making it happen look like this -

Master B - an honourable man and a gent <SMILEY TYPE="ok"/>

Hmm, sorry about that.

Still it doesn't explain the lack of entries so far, maybe everyone is biding there time.
