Like "albeit." It is archaic. Most do NOT use these terms anymore albeit here on the JP website. "Desabuser"...sure. Pull the other one.

Sorry to disappoint but you don't control the notice board or this thread or any thread for that matter.You and your little posse of thread crashers are just wasting your time and energy here. Call me a fanboy all you want, it just shows you guys don't know what you are talking about. You say you're here to stay? Well so am I and this thead will continue on, like it or not, and there's nothing you can do about it or your little posse that have no opinions other than "Maiden have lost it" or "can't you name a song you don't like". So why waste your time here saying the same thing over and over? Take my advice, you and your little posse leave and go to another thread or create your own Maiden thread and do what you want with it. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Are you a "common, cunning linguist" or do you have some noble blood in your veins? HAAAAAA!!! Sorry, couldn't resist.
AND (LOL) while your definition of Menos-valer is accurate in terms of phrasing, it lacks a major point in true meaning. That accusation comes from Medieval times. It was a legal phrasing charging the accused in public of not living up to his duties as a gentleman or hidalgo. Usually a pass with lances, then swords followed. In the Renaissance, it evolved into slapping one's face with gloves. Same accusation.
HB, thanks for the heads-up. I'll have to check out the new King material.

You know, Guido, despite me being a linguist, you got me there; I had to look that one up:
Yeah, sad that we have to deal with nuts like Brian and get all worked up
Imo we should be discussing music, poetry, politics, philosophy, and lifestyles seriously instead - yeah, even who's sexiest of the Priest guys.
I think the aggressive nature of the discussion in this thread detracts from the camaraderie we could cherish and protect in this forum. This is now the third time in the new year that we've had such an unpleasant exchange, and I find that sad.
But maybe we have different positions on that matter. Maybe some of you like a like that.
I mean, we have to be open to differences on a board like this. Mike and I are old guys here, and maybe we're old-fashioned. We just like the "English gentleman" type of exchange.
So guys, please give me some feedback on this. I'm willing to learn.
Nicky.
