Gents - out of curiosity two things:

- What is a faber?
- Why do I sometimes see people write UNP in their posts?

Thanks

i'm relatively new to The Thread, but here's my take...

the term "Faber" gets its name from a long time Thread Brother, Fabertong, who was quite adroit at filling an entire Thread page with posts before anyone else could post...I'm assuming it was to prevent the nefarious Nikademas from sullying the page with foul "Log" post subject lines...a clean page with "THE TRHEAD!!!" subject line without the blasphemous "Log!" subject line (or facsimile thereof) shows great respect for THE THREAD...for this simple act, Brother Fabertong will have a special place at the right hand of THE THREAD when he goes to meet his Thread maker...

so in effect, completing the "Faber" is synonymous with a hat trick in hockey, a turkey in bowling, or the trifecta when dating more than one person at a time...

thanks, JWE! a good time was had by all...alas, i've developed the dreaded traveller's head cold upon my return, so i must temporarily reminisce on the delights that you so elegantly described above with kleenex and hall's cough drops...

Came so close on the dating score.

Got caught.

And then there were none.

I tried that a couple of times.

I'll never learn.

Maybe I should take up hockey.
