I don't know about "my" context. I was trying to get across to
you that he was vague about this business of the site and that it
did _not_ matter for his question. I have failed to do this
properly and I am going out to get a 2" by 4" piece of hardwood
timber and see if I can pay someone to give me a good working
over. (Like the one of Dirty Harry's quarries who paid Morgan
Freeman (was it?) to knuckle him over)

Even though he did not say website. Where's that piece of timber?
