Why does the English forum require you to use a French word for the antispam question? That's just stupid. I had to look up the French word for "white" as I had no idea what it was. Since this is the English forum, it shouldn't require you to use French words.

I'm impressed Tom hasn't yet deleted this thread like he did two of mine on this topic.
Probably hasn't noticed it yet.

"On what date did Pope John Paul II elevate the Archdiocese of Trivandrum to a Major Archdiocese, elevating the Archbishop to Major Archbishop?"
