Never knew what one looked like, although I'm familiar with the expression.

August..... on the mugs
Raptor1.... gets two thumbs, one for identifying the petard, and the other for reminding me that we are no longer a barbaric world.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I hereby rate this thread a zonk due to public opinion

I don't think one is hoist on their own petard, but rather hoist with their own petard.

"For tis the sport to have the enginer Hoist with his owne petar".

From the play Hamlet written by some old dead guy named Willie.

Either way it sounds more painful than doing my taxes!

Unless your going for the specific Shakespear quote I think either would be accepted.

I am surprised Mr. Stevens has responded in this thread.

I have read in other posts here that if you have a problem with someone. Deal with that person thur a pm, not publicly announcing hey I have a problem with so and so when that is a personal problem between two individuals that should dealt with in a private matter.

That is my take on this.

Interesting read on the petard.

Thanks for sharing.

You're surprised that I have, or have not responded?

Actually, I have a lot of confidence in the senior members of this forum, they are good at keeping the peace here, as the first few replies show

Sir Neal, how do you do sir? With kind regards as to the above mentioned comment on senior members, one does not doubt your confidence, or dispute their standing of seniority, within said community. However sir, might i take this brief chance, to express my preogrative to attest the fairness and worth of (some) these fine fellows. Your comment of which i will confess is to me, as expected, as i trust you certainly believe. but iam hopefull on the understanding that you can easily conceive how sensible an affliction it is to me on reading, entering, responding, to this post. As all opinions differ. Bye your leave sir, good day.
