who are you to say what i know and don't know?

for the umpteenth time.. i did not accuse people of cheating when using
allegro _i_ (as in me... not you or anyone else)  feel like _i_ (there's
that tricky "i" again) am cheating myself when using allegro because i
don't think i get a full learning experience out of it...

now, having said that, if you had followed the thread and read maybe a
couple more messages you would have come across this (and more than once
i might add).

no, it is not... however, it can be used to denote a long pause. which
is what i am using it for...

i will take a note of that... perhaps if more people ask me to use them
i will... perhaps.

i ask you this: who is the bigger fool here?

> 4) "l8r" does not increase your credibility

i wasn't using it to 'increase my credibility'.. i was using it because
i wanted to.

i belive you have already stated this one.
