Danno,
Actually the phrase I used was 'I hope that you don't think," as opposed to, "I know that you think". Since biologically I fall in the category of a 'he' or a 'she', it is feasible for you to believe that I am the aforementioned 'sailor 72'. Nevertheless, in response to your comments about my general intelligence, I admit that I am certainly not in the league of some of my old professors at the University of Chicago, whose level of intellect I can only dream of. However, I shall be contacting the University of Chicago and Northwestern poste haste to ask for a tuition & scholarship refund, since perhaps the degrees that they awarded me, by your standards, are a load of hokey.
I wish you all the best with the forum. Respectfully, Kirsty

Intelligence, and having the ability to detect misleading statements, are not necessarily synonymous. Nevertheless, your reasons for not joining Crew are personal and I respect that. I can assure you, (well, you know this from when me met) that I am very British, and British-isms in my writing give me away. I hope that you don't think I am 'sailor 72.' I tried being someone else once, on the Town site - 'Adam Smith'. It 's hard enough being me, let alone trying to be someone else and keep up an alias.Rest assured that if I do pop up under a pseudonym it will be a political thinker, Baron de Montesquieu or Thomas Malthus. Propaganda is not my style. However, I'm the first to admit that if anyone is guilty of trying to 'advertise' Crew it is me.
You can't blame me for that; you are doing the same for this site I believe!
Ah, but your deductive reasoning abilities (which are connected to general intelligence) should have given you the answer to the sailor 72 question, for it was contained in the last sentence of my post, specifically my use of "he/she" as an indication that I was unaware of even the gender of sailor72.
