Your PM is not on! I can't respond to you unless you turn it on... You can send messages, but you can't receive 'em (I think).

Interesting that the poll is evenly split!

I'll let it stay a mystery then. ;)

Main Entry: re·fect
Pronunciation: ri-'fekt
Function: transitive verb
Etymology: Latin refectus, past participle of reficere
Date: 14th century
archaic : to refresh with food or drink
metaphysically: to replenish and uplift


Of course, it's likely that I'm completely wrong...

It's funny, Tiger...

When I saw Total Refected Power I just automatically put the L in there.

That's how powerful it is... it can mentally correct spelling errors for the reader!

:D ;)

Edit: So Thorn, in a sense it could be either, no? :)

Exactly. :)

That's what's great about it... of course, what is "wrong"? Both meanings are one in the same.

for some reason... I had always inferred that he was 'full of it', as in the power of the drunken pen ?

TRP, did you hear what Thorn said?

See, you didn't make a mistake after all. But don't let that go to your head. ;)

Thorn:

I have admitted previously that REFLECTED was my original choice, but REFECTED it became. Either suited! I knew refected gave the same intent so I let it be. At that point I knew the nickname was meant to be. The fact that I admitted to the typo was good for me, not to let my perfectionist tendencies to overwhelm me.



archaic : to refresh with food or drink, metaphysically: to replenish and uplift

To replensish or uplift!!!! You are almost there! You have 1/2 of the equation.

At this point only ISLA knows the other half (and its not a physics thing although its appeals to my scientific training :) )
