    Meanwhile, back in the thread, she did it four more times.

    I figured Mame need a day off, so I went to her profile ... and then stopped when I saw her DOB: Jan, 1915. I PM'd: "Mame, are you really 94?" Seconds later, "Yes!!"

    I reversed the infraction.

    Please remember my kindness to Mame when I post here at 94.
    Are you still going to be around next year then, shg?

    lol

    Having read the thread, I think I would not have been so generous.

    PS and yes, it is not straightforward to nest quotes like this ^

    Yes, it comes dangerously close to constructing an array formula at half past midnight

    I followed the Mame/shg exchange live (except for the PMs, of course) ... it was hilarious! This forum really makes me smile!

    Re: The Bad Threads

    I saw that one and opened the PDF. I was tempted to ask for a version in English. On the other hand, it's a nice compliment that the OP thinks we can all understand that with no further explanation.

    Re: The Bad Threads

    I laughed like Darkyam did (post 89 of this thread) when I read the first thread of this question mentioned by Teylyn (post 88 of this thread) & feel I have to link the second/"duplicate" thread: http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...xt-number.html

    Maybe my posting here (if I end up beating the others) will give the involved people a bit more time to kick back & relax - ever felt you may as well be talking to a brick wall???

    I always like these:

    Hi everyone,

    I'm really sorry to post this in here, for some reason when I try to create a new thread in the main part of the forum it asks me to log on, even though I'm already logged on.

    Anyway
    , when I enter my password again it just returns me to the log on page, but that's after it's welcomed me back!
    Anyway
    , I would normally return at a later date and try again, however, I'm in a rush today as I have to complete a spreadsheet for my boss (and as I'm at risk of redundancy I want to impress him).

    On to the question... I would be really grateful if someone could help me with the following:
