Made some slight changes to 5 of the topics. Just to keep things interesting.

[Barry]

Good luck. Interesting revisions.

[Bill]

Thanks. Those are the few changes my tired mind could think up. Might change a few more in the days to come.

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

Haha I love how you got rid of the author under 25.

[Bill]

Haha yeah that one had to go.

[Virginie]

Hehe! That's the first change I noticed x)

That 25yo req is the only thing stopping me from finishing my Bingo since last November...

So your thread name is a play on the Microsoft search engine? ;)

[Bill]

Lol. I was going for more of a Lord of the Rings The Return of the King. I was super tired and realized the next day it didn’t really work.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

For what it's worth, my first thought was a play on Tolkien. :)

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Bing was actually my 2nd thought... or it was a near tie... LotR works
