13 Sep 02 - 03:48 AM (#782816) Subject: RE: BS: Quiz-Again2 From: Nigel Parsons Snuffy 'snuck inunder the line' with 20/20 ! Nigel Dave: "Baffle of Waterloo" was a typo, honest (well, I missed it in re-reading, but my original says "Battle". Once again I blame Textbridge which I used to re-cycle one of my older quizzes. Maybe I need a clearer font! Nigel |
