Posted by RH Gyrl on 10/2/2005, 4:16 am, in reply to "Re: The new and improved thread :)" Here's another one to think about.... No other pain reliever is more effective than Ouch. (Ouch is a ficticious name I am using for the sake of this example). A quick reading of that sentence might lead you to the impression that Ouch is more effective than any other pain reliever, especially because you see the words "more effective". This reading, however, is incorrect. The assertion here is only that no other pain reliever is more effective; in other words, Ouch is at least as effective as other pain relievers. If it read, Ouch, is at least as effective as other pain releivers it is unlikey to sell a lot. --Previous Message--

: lies!!! LOL If I see new and improved on a
: product I always worry, because it usually
: means they loused it up!

: you're right about the new thread; however,
: I seem to be rubbish at starting new ones,
: so I had better leave that to you LOL
: Needledrop did a few shows last November
: didn't they. I didn't get to any of them
