Please don't think I'm being incredulous but once we agree to this empty threat, 'loose lips sink ships' other comp organisers will follow in a similar vein changing the dynamics of this forum. As most Op's agree today's was relatively easy but I spent considerable time trying to work it out using search engines, not searching via the organisers site, therefore arguably if more people have access to the answers there will be more activity on the organisers website and more OP's entering. Although this reduces our chances of winning, 'if its for you it'll not pass you by'. Good luck everyone:0)

I respect your opinion and I've stated mine, so I'll say no more now, but for one thing. I just want make it clear, as you keep coming back to it, that unlike Ernie, my objection isn't based on reducing my chances of winning. I wouldn't be a member of this forum if it was and I definitely wouldn't be participating in threads like Magic and Cashhunt! I'm not even entering this comp as I'm not a beach holiday person, I've just quite enjoyed working out the clues each day :rotfl:

Good luck everyone, I hope an mse'er wins it

Loose lips sink ships was an innocuous doffing of one's cap to the WWII slogan - not as you have rather hysterically re-dubbed it an empty threat

If you are merely concerned about the brotherhood/co-operative/fraternity of this board then perhaps you would note their concerns and desist of posting the answers to future clues. Perhaps you could further the enjoyment by simply proffering fresh hints.

Pip-Pip!

A Beach person! I hope not otherwise you'd melt, why not continue to enjoy the riddles and ignore reading the pages on this thread as they may contain the answers. A bit like the puzzle books that have the answers at the back of the book or the newspapers that have the answers printed upside down. I always take a sneaky peak but still play the game:0)

Do you really have to be so rude to our fellow compers. Maybe somebody should explain the concept of the abuse system to you. How dare you suggest that reniannen is some sort of ice maiden, she is a respected regular poster & should be treated with such respect as should all members, new or old. Now please just let the matter drop & let everyone just enjoy what they're here to do...comping not verbal abuse!

Apologies for your misunderstanding, I was referring to the avatar used being the snowman, hence will melt if exposed to beach like conditions. Funny how peoples minds work, I ought to have explained myself more clearly. No offence given or taken:0)

Thank you for explaining yourself but please just be careful with your comments in future so as not to offend. We MSEers like to be one big, happy family with no black sheep
