Re: *Sigh* Miranda
"Sigh of tiredness", actually. I don't know if it's just me or not, but lately it seems that we've gotten a bit more of board policy related drama than is usual. (We've also had a jump in true MPDs recently, which I think may be related to it being April school break in some areas.) It gets tiresome after a while, you know?I'm sorry to hear about Trinity. :-( Try to keep faith, babies can really surprise you sometimes. :-)We wager that most MPDs are bored teenagers looking to see if they can deceive a board. And if so, how long they can keep the charade up for. It's a game to them, really. Others show signs of having deeper problems... And still others are simply ignorant of the rules, but that grates on the regulars too since the rules are pretty darn easy to find imo, if you took the time to simply look a (very) little bit.EDIT: A bit of rewording and a touch of expansion, for clarity

Attn:- MirandaMiranda, I read what Baggie wrote and can't really add anything, except to say we were really unaware of this MPD thing, but we think the real giveaway is in the questions posed, i assume that not many school children on holiday are interested in Old Norse!
As we aquire more reference books and sites many names have been resolved before searching on this site, we have a wonderful book called the Revised Medievil Latin word list, this is excellent for finding many obscure elements and Mark has a Old Norse reader. Baggie is right we are just rookies (or do they call them freshmen in America?) in terms of this but we are learning. Forgive me if i ask what may seem obvious questions sometimes, after going around in circles for ages me and Mark just couldn't find the meaning of the name Wend, so finally we ran the enquiry on this board, we do try to find these, perhaps we not always successful in our searches, but thanks to your information we are now one step closer, cheers Miranda
