Your post - the repost - is still there isn't it?

I thought the first post in a new thread defined the topic.

You must have some spooky mind-reading skillz.

How about this to help clear up my misspeak.
The first REPLY in the new thread was off topic.

Ahhhhh. It's not mind-reading skillz, it's reading-deleted-posts skillz.

Your edit-posts-as-long-as-you-want skillz make your first post in the thread (the first reply which the rest of us can see) make more sense.

Thanks for the clarification. Sorry for my slowness (and lack of skillz).

Tony, I don't mean to be the grammer Nazi, but isn't there something grammertically incorrect about your sentenz? Maybe I'm slow.

Addendum: I am slow. Forget it.

I confess, it even gave me a double-take on the subject-verb, singular/plural agreement thing. The unconventional spelling of skills and the parenthetical phrase complicated things.

And now we've both contributed to thread drift. Oops.

But what if there aren't any old paranoid guys to help me and I don't want my ex g/f's dead?

Framed citizens running from the government can't be choosers.
