      @mclaincausey:

      I've never seen "genuflection" spelled with an "x" but I rather like it. And wholly agree with the sentiment.

      It can be spelled either way, I like words which have this ability of dual spelling. I also feel that the letter X gets a bad rep from its association with sex and triple x movies.

        Oh I wasn't questioning that it was a proper spelling. I've seen "connexion" as well.

        X has a good rep with me. Except for that Kiss song!

        Think it, be it.

                  A minor rant or quibble if you will…

                  A relatively new member of the forum recently PM'd me to ask some advice on sizing for an article of clothing they were considering buying.  No problem.  I'm genuinely happy to help someone with this type of issue, hopefully with as much cheer as other forum members have shown towards me when the roles have been reversed.  I duly responded with a detailed description of the sizing, my impressions of the fit, my own measurements for reference and a couple of other points I thought might be useful.  And then... nothing.  No further communication received.

                  Now, don't misunderstand me.  I'm not looking for endless praise or thanks for this minor act.  I do, however, think that brief acknowledgment when someone provides assistance is good form and tends to promote a positive and friendly atmosphere around the place.

                                    I think you may have missed the little bit of cheeky-ness in Giles' reply 🙂

                                      I was just telling Qin that he's not alone and there are other "victims" along with him who suffer from the same situation.

                                      @Snowy: yeah, possibly lost in translation and due to lack of internet-emotion

                                        My problem is that I hate using emoticons (I am trying to discipline myself to do so  :o).  It's like if you have to tell someone you just made a joke, what the fucks the point…....?

                                          I tend to overdo the use of emoticons…

                                          All that said, have you ever revealed your collection you accumulated over the years? I am, for one, very interested to see that. Just like I'd like to see Kiya's collection one day.

                                            I've actually started shifting some of mine.  I love buying jeans to study construction techniques etc, but once I've done that, there seems little point in having them accumulate dust.  I'd rather have someone give them the love they deserve, because if it aint IH or TW, it won't get worn by me…...
