I live above a star, and yet I never burn, I have eleven neighbors, and yet none of them turn, I am visited in sequence, first, last or in between, PRS (& sometimes Q)are my initials, now tell me what I mean.

I don't see how the initials PRS (and sometimes Q) function in mistysakura's line of thinking...

I don't even see mistysakura's line of thinking - or TimMann's idea of it. At least I'm quite confident that I got the right context, thanks to Maryl's post.

The symbols !@#$%^&*() appear in a line on my computer keyboard, and above that is a line of 12 function keys. F7 is most directly above the "star" (asterisk). However, I don't usually visit F7 as part of a sequence, and it definitely has nothing to do with P[Q]RS. So it doesn't fit the riddle.

| Aw, TM, you ought to get away from the keyboard for a while - call a friend - maybe that will clear up your mind ...

I know the intended answer. I was explaining why what I thought mistysakura was hinting at was the wrong answer, because wowbagger asked. Seems like I not only annoyed mistysakura, but I also convinced Lupin that I need to be given a put-down and another hint. Sigh.

| Misty was referring to a previous riddle that had been posted which was similiar to this one, just different equipment.

I thought !@#$%^&*() was just referring to censored expletives stressing the similarity of the riddle to another. Tim needs to read more comic books

No worries, I wasn't annoyed at you, more at myself for not getting anywhere near that line between way-too-confusing and explicit.
