Including "Well, I searched for something like this and didn't find anything, so please don't shut me down, Mr. Wight."
I do this because I don't know how to work the search engine (ie, I know how to use it but I have bad luck finding anything on it -- sort of how my brother can find what he's looking for on Google and I can't) and I don't want to be beat on the head (no matter how gently because I have a huge ego problem) for making a duplicate topic along with a gentle chide to use the search function. I use it as a sort of indirect apology and an acknowledgement that I did do my homework before posting.

However, I totally agree with what you said about confidence.

Lindolirian, good point! I can remember a thread on the "two cents" issue; I think it was called "The Phantom Finance" and was started by Rimbaud, but I can't locate it at the moment.

Why thank you for finding the link, Imladris! See, your search was successful this time - for whatever reason, mine wasn't...

You're welcome -- I just went under Rimbaud's name and clicked "Find all threads started by Rimbaud" -- fortunately (should that be unfortunately?) he has started few topics so it was relatively easy to find...I didn't use the search because I couldn't remember if it was under Mirth or the Downs...
