Hey Noggin (if I can call you Noggin that is) That reply was spooky. Bye the way I think you apply spooky logic to your maths

Hi ranterrab. Yes you can call me Noggin (everybody does; I think on account of it being my name .)

Which reply were you referring to? I like to know what I've written that's spooked someone, so I can do it again.

Noggin

I was happily browsing the site and dipped into a conversation. I clicked onto a link and you started by offering to tell a tale or maybe you wouldn't and my name was there. There was also some questinable mathematics on the lines of (0x9)5-8(1x9)=42. the I tried to reply and the system failed. I replied again then there were two replies Spooky!!! or am I nieve

Ah. The name thing is kind of a trick that site regulars have become used to.

Its called a viewer tag. If you write something on your personal space (click edit page on your own space), switch to Guide ML (the options are under the text box), and include where you want the name to appear, the name of the viewer will be inserted where the tag is (when I view my own page my own name is what I see).

And if you look at the maths carefully it *does* work. 1+9(=10)x5(=50)-8(=42)+(0x9)(ie +0)=42

If you need to know anything else, let me know
