Yes - but you don't use denier for the measurement of fibre threads in the plural anyway. Although it's still the same word for one person who denies....confused

I think they should spell it denyers. Or deny-ers. Deniers is about stockings.

Yes, **petallus" that was the gist of it. A lot of old threads are being brought back to life today, for some reason..

Didn't the whole "denier" bit get done to death some time ago? I seem to remember one of those threads that went on, and on, and on....(so what's new?)

I remember Orca saying s/he'd had it with GN, or words to that effect, quite a few months ago.

Orca seems to have swum off these days. Don't think he liked us disagreeing with him very much.

Pleased to meet you Orca. Glad someone is still around tackling the hard working professional climate change denier(s).
