drealmer7: Also, the issue I raised was more about the illogic of the type of phrasing "is there a chance I could ask for a pony?" you missed that part in your example, because "is there a chance I could have a pony" at least follows logical thought "a chance I could ask" does not.
It's just stacking two idioms. It doesn't make any sense when taken literally, but that's why they're idioms. If I ask "is there any chance I could have a pony", I'm also not expecting you to follow logic and answer "yes of course there's a chance, would you like me to estimate it"? I expect you to understand I'm (politely) asking you for a pony and skip past the odds. I take it the extra level of indirection is too much for your refined sensibilities, which is a shame. Is there any chance I could possibly ask you to be persuaded to permit me the opportunity for an avenue to indulge in a few more levels of indirection? :-)

Imagine what I could do with a pony (use it to till the whole yard into a garden, probably!)
You're too ambitious. I'll have to keep an eye on you. Before you know it I'll have an army of Mongols on my hands, just from that one pony.

JMich: Adding a /post### to the url of a thread will take you to that specific post
Really? For future reference, if I were to do that, would I REPLACE /pageXXX with /post### ?

Or simply add /post### after page? Love little tricks like this.

(LOVED learning about adding in [url= ... ] )

*edit - stuck an extra user in that quote

*EXTRA EDIT - is this why occasionally links to "posts" end up on the wrong page?

Replace. Click on any post link and see the url you get. Haven't you been reading linked posts in mafia games?

Please read the OP in full, this is not how this GA works. This is the place both of you are probably looking for.
