Well, since someone else is around, no need for me to keep posting to prevent another faber.

Gents - out of curiosity two things:

- What is a faber?
- Why do I sometimes see people write UNP in their posts?

Thanks

And comfy accommodations, with views that stir and move the soul. From the swaying palms, gentle breezes, and ruby sunsets, over pristine white sandy beaches, of the tropics, to the crystal clarity, stark and granitic simplicity, fresh winds, and lissome beauties of the Med, God has laid out a feast for them who wish to partake of it.

I hope you are having a ball, Per !!! And I hope Kwik E's having a ball too !!!

i'm relatively new to The Thread, but here's my take...

the term "Faber" gets its name from a long time Thread Brother, Fabertong, who was quite adroit at filling an entire Thread page with posts before anyone else could post...I'm assuming it was to prevent the nefarious Nikademas from sullying the page with foul "Log" post subject lines...a clean page with "THE TRHEAD!!!" subject line without the blasphemous "Log!" subject line (or facsimile thereof) shows great respect for THE THREAD...for this simple act, Brother Fabertong will have a special place at the right hand of THE THREAD when he goes to meet his Thread maker...

so in effect, completing the "Faber" is synonymous with a hat trick in hockey, a turkey in bowling, or the trifecta when dating more than one person at a time...[;)]

Came so close on the dating score.[8D] Got caught. And then there were none.[8|] I tried that a couple of times. I'll never learn.[:-] Maybe I should take up hockey.
