Tried that. Sadly there is no way, that I can see to send a picture to you. Now that could be my almost non existent technical knowhow being tested, I don't know. I am afraid I need an email address, then I know what to do!......... I think!

My knowhow is limited as well, but I stumbled onto the e-mail link in the user name. It won't show my address, but will let you send "It's me",
or "Best laid plans". Your address is revealed to me as sender. That lets me reply to you, which then reveals my address to you. I'm pretty sure.
Don't you love how computers simplify and speed things up?

I did that. I sent you an email(I have just sent you another) , but no picture, by that "xmarks" system. Just a thought, you could delete some of the Messages in your PM “out” box and then you could then PM your email address. That should work?

From Waverly, is there an earlier reference to the practice prior to the 1840's when Scott put this in his story?

“Skene-occle! what’s that?” Callum unbuttoned his coat, raised his left arm, and, with an emphatic nod, pointed to the hilt of a small dirk, snugly deposited under it, in the lining of his jacket."
