TORG-Bonfire Knight, Gatekeeper of Castle Anthrax Started conversation Mar 5, 2002
First of all, may I wish you a belated happy birtday, or birthday even.
I found your paperless paperchase by accident a couple of days ago and have reached clue 3. I think I know the answer but I'm on webtv and can't get into any threads with more than 20 posts, or occasionally I get only the last few posts.
I would like to ask you if you can tell me what clue 4 is, but of course I have to get the correct answer to clue 3 first, but if I put it here it will (if correct) give the game away.
Can you help, do you think?

To narrow it down a bit I think that it may be in the "heavy" thread. It's the only thread in the first five articles listed on my search that I can't get into.
Does that help?
Can you help, please?
Bagpuss Posted Mar 5, 2002
Yes, you've got that one right, though in fact the thread has only 17 posts. Does web-TV fail due to the size of the page or some other weird reason? Either way you're a bit stuck for joining in conversations. Anyroad, here's clue 4, originally set by Orcus (and it's a toughy):
Doubly female? No men around anyway. A lonely situation.
Can you help, please?

Thank you. Yeah you're right, no idea so far.
I'm not really sure why it happens but 20 is the most posts I ever get to see. Still, keep going while I can.
Thanks again.

Okay I got the answer to clue 4 that you sent me but your own clue 5 (Distant dials?...) has got me clawing the paper off the walls in frustration.
Any chance of a little help?
Am unsubscribing now.
Can you help, please?
Bagpuss Posted Mar 8, 2002
Oh . Failing to recognise the name, I just asked you on your page if you needed help.
*kicks self*
How many TORGs do I think there are.
As for my distant dials, perhaps they're more like knobs.
