- If you gentleman were to create some new articles, instead of serving up an endless diet of carp, carp, carp, it might help build up this encyclopaedia. Bugler 15:44, 28 September 2008 (EDT)
- I didn't hear an answer mixed in with your insult. HelpJazz 15:49, 28 September 2008 (EDT)
- I didn't hear a sensible question mixed in with your usual nonsense. Bugler 15:55, 28 September 2008 (EDT) [on edit] Ah, of course. I appreciate that you might have difficulty, but the word is C. A. R. P. It's a kind of fish, and it also means to grouse or complain, generally in an ineffective, whining fashion. Not at all what you might have thought. Bugler 15:57, 28 September 2008 (EDT)
