almost begging to be a caption competition!
Let's make it one then. Who can come up with the best caption before the end of this weekend - the ubiquitous midnight on Sunday.

Would The Pup be kind enough to choose a winner at that point?

If you've had a problem it's always a good idea to go back to the people concerned and tell them about it so they have a chance to put it right.

If we don't do this then nothing is learned from events as suppliers can be blissfully unaware that anything is needing attention.

Just a thought, but they are the right people to talk to.

Something new here. The last time I put in a BIN option, it was unavailable as soon as bidding started. Made it seem like a waste, so I don't do BIN at all now.

I always wait seven days between sending invoice, sending reminder invoice, then an e-mail and then if still no repsonse the Non Paying Bidder procedure.

Sometimes people are away or genuinely have a computer problem or some other unforseen reason for not replying immediately.

Worth giving the benefit of the doubt I think.

Why do all the shots posted have to be judged, why not images of interest only now and again ?
Probably because it's assumed that anyone posting a picture is looking for some sort of response, not just silence.

It would seem a bit rude perhaps just to ignore an image?

To post is really to invite comment, but if anyone really did not want that then a word of explanation would probably do the trick.

I have books from the middle 1800s by scholars that include spellings such as finisht, so language does indeed change over time.

'Tis verily so, methinks.

A datum line is singular. Data is plural - lots of information, not just one item.

Over to the Latin scholars....

I understand what you are saying, but by "absolute compatibility" (apart from being slightly tongue-in-cheek) I was really referring to the users.

That is, we could all sit down in front of each other's computers and happily use them, knowing exactly what was going on.

Compatibility as regards programs is of course something else entirely.
