There SHE blows. SHE's a beauty... so obviously the 2nd guuy couldnt have been a 'true' sailor, calling the box "hes a fine box" IP Logged "Dont Die For Your Country, Make Them SoB's Die For Theres" G Paton jenniegurl Newbie     Posts: 35 Re: You've Got Mail   « Reply #3 on: Jun 27th, 2005, 7:01pm » Quote Modify haha but it's not a ship, tis a box...

You and xyz posted at almost the same time. You probably posted while he was filling out his. He did not see yours until after he finished posting. This happens occasionally around here. You should never assume that someone posting right after you has read your post. IP Logged "Pi goes on and on and on ... And e is just as cursed.
