[QUOTE="Rel, post: 1464696, member: 99"] It would appear that we are gradually beginning to corner the meaning you so clearly meant to impart with your initial comments. I am beginning to suspect that when finally cornered that this meaning may, as so many creatures do in similar circumstances, lash out in anger and fear at those who corner it, counting upon their rubbery green hide and miraculous powers of regeneration to save them from potential retalliation. Nonetheless, I am an adventurous sort and, as the game is afoot, I shall continue with it. To wit, I offer the initial portion of nopantsyet's brief grouping of words that have sparked such an outpouring of further posts: I've taken the liberty of deleting the intervening sentence that made mention of the Magister/Wizard issue, which you have done us the honor to mention was not the target of your initial comments. Perhaps you will grace us with a nod in the direction of the portion of nopantsyet's initial comments that you deemed fit to respond to with the seemingly definitive, yet, in fact, astoundingly elusive comment, "You can't do that." While I await your doubtlessly immanent clarification as to this matter, rest assured that I shall in the mean time be contemplating the notion that neither of the remaining assertions by nopantsyet seem in the least way impossible. I believe that I shall further dally with the thought that you may be confusing the word "can't" with "shouldn't" or "ought not" or "would be ill advised to". Why, as I contemplate this further I think it is more than a mere thought; it is very nearly an idea! I humbly await your response with breathless anticipation! [/QUOTE]
