And it wasn't a problem, by the way. It's called a question.

No I didn't mean you at all, sorry if It came of that way.

Yes it's a question, but you don't have the answer and you are looking for assistance becuse you can't find it, so I think you could also say it's a small or little problem.

In retrospect maybe I should have pm'd one of the mods about this, but it's a little late for that now.

My friend, it's a question, it isn't a problem. My life would not have been affected if I did or did not learn of Faramir's death date.

I think the problem is... Both of you are using a the word problem in a different way. Beleg mean problem as in a math question, which is often if not always called a math problem. MatthewM is thinking of a problem in the more complex/dangerous way.

Of course, I am just jumping to conclusions over what you think, and also I am butting into a conversation, but I didn't want either of you to think badly of eachother, so I felt it my duty to explain, since I thought I might have the answer to the question.

It seems the Downers have the special and interesting ability of changing any thread, no matter how banal the topic is, into a real discussion...

Finduilas · 06-07-2007, 01:27 PM

Well, MatthewMs first question was answered, so why not?

The Sixth Wizard · 06-10-2007, 03:31 AM

Because soon the Chat Skrewl will bear down upon us!

As for the Downers' ability, it is because they are intelligent and have a lot of time on their hands...

I don't know if this is a good place to ask, but we are on the subject..

Are quick question threads closed once their questions are answered? Will this thread be eventually shut down?
