I have to conclude "urrebt" is a bad word in someone's language or vocabulary...and in this thread, I believe the "College Coach" is for urrebt! crazy

Bee,

Thank you for that interpretation, and I wish you had shared it a little earlier. I have been wondering about the subject line every time I glance at this. Ahhhh, now I understand.

hey Prep/ Mn-Mom, I only understood the subject line tho Smile

theory: OS8 has a laptop, prolly a dell - and a lazy thumb laying on the touchpad while he's typing on a shakey keyboard.

parts of sentences fly everywhere as the thumb inadvertantly moves the cursor - - AND the topic "subject line" can't be edited

Prep, our best to the Fam

Bee>

IMO - Bee did a nice interpretation job. But I still dont understand a single word of the message.

Bee interned with OSS on the "enigma" project, then later with MI6. worm

I couldn't get a literal translation, but I think it's not a thank you note.

"Enigma"..."OS8"...

I'm starting to think that some of you qualify as "K.I.A.'s!" dazzler

Keep it on a "need to know" basis; but, that's code for "Know It All's." buba

If I knew more, I'd be in a better position to know. Confused

I can neither confirm, nor deny whether or not Bee was part of the MI6, Enigma Project, OSS, etc.....but I can tell you that his HQ is perched at the end of a twisting / turning nondescript road with lines of sight in all directions and is heavily guarded by a large pack of mountain lions. You know how they have the nurses sedate the spies in the movies? Let's just say he's got one on the premises so you'd better be nice.

Dad04 - I'm not quite sure if that's the place or not because during our meeting, he served me some chilled Russian serum which clouded my memory a bit.

I belive this poster is asserting that schools will send out posiive info regarding a player's skill that appear to show interest, but are only form letters/communications. Sort of like filling out publisher's clearninghouse entry at one time or another thinking we were a winner only to be embarrassed by the realistic nature of the correspondence.
