Thanks for listening.



As I understand it, this decline was in part down to at least one of the MERPs not having seen the film- it's not out in most parts of the world yet- and because the research they did in order to make up for not having seen it yet made no mention of poached eggs.

I'm assuming this oversight wouldn't have happened had there been the space to explain the poached eggs reference, so I'm going to double the explanation when I get chance this weekend. Hopefully this will reduce future confusion.

Change is there now. Apologies for taking longer than I planned to do this. Mind, it was a Bank holiday here yesterday so it was kind of a long weekend for me (if that's any defence).

Not technically a defence, but it goes to mitigation.

I shall be recommending an unconditional discharge.

Just don't let it happen again. That's all!

benj, is this working correctly? I've just resubmitted a declined review, & altho I was able to type up to 200 characters only 100 of them were showing after I clicked UPDATE. Are 200 characters visible to you but not to me?
Thanks.

Yeah- you're right. Just the first 100 chars came through.

I've made a small change- give it another shot and see if it looks any better.

Nope. I can still only see the first 1/2 of what I wrote. (If you can see all of it I have no idea what's showing to you now because I tried to retype the second 1/2 to see if that would work...)

Benj

I just added a comment to a pending review 438746 THE COMMENT IS A SPOILER FOR INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS I then updated, I then went back to the comment and the whole comment remained so it seems to be working

Hope this helps

Yes, sorted: I've re-retyped it & it's all visible.
Thank you.
I suspect it'll be redeclined again in due course, mind you. But what the hell.

To the MERP who declined it: fair enough. I take your point (& your bracket, colon, &c). Pushing the envelope somewhat there really.
Cheers.
