Don't know; ask someone from Scotland. Take care. Vern

I loved most all of it, but Sydney and Perth were my overall favorites. Sydney is the only large city (about two million) I have found that I actually wouldn't mind living in. The mass trans combining trains, buses, ferries, is to die for. Everything was overbooked for the race in Melbourne so we didn't stay the planned time and left the day after arrival -- might've been different another time. Did the camel ride on the beach at sunset at Broom on my birthday and that was fantastic. Kind of disappointed with Ayers Rock after all the hyped expectations, lol. Wonderful country all in all and I heartily recommend to anyone who has the opportunity to take advantage. We were there about six weeks total and even that wasn't enough. Biggest regret is we didn't leave nearly enough time for your neighbor, New Zealand -- only a week which was way too short. Take care. Vern

Welcome, Iris, to the place where you don't have to stay a stranger for long, but may stay strange as long as you wish. BTW, I visited Australila a few years back, a very beautiful and for the most part friendly country -- all seven "states." Take care. Vern

Actually, I found that Tam o'shanter hat in the trash as a kid and placed the little fuzzy chicken (also found in the trash) on top of it with a safety pin - not sure where I got the safety pin, lol. That was my class picture. But, geez, surely you remember me explaining the avatar before; it's also in my profile and been there pretty much since this new site opened.  I might have to add some bells and whistles to make it stand out. Take care. Vern

PS: Edited to clarify existence of avatar info.

Oh, geez (rolls eyes) what does that scroll take anyway, a nanosecond? I'm still amazed by Earthlings lol. You do know you can see all the rest by clicking "Read more content from your connections" at the bottom of the list, right?. I'm training my telescope on another galaxy. Take care. Vern

There is hardly a thread on this site (or the old) garnering more than a few responses which does not veer to some degree from the initial subject matter. I consider that a good thing in most instances. Natural conversation goes that way when interesting characters are involved. Take care. Vern

Responded in premium group forum. Take care. Vern

I would first ask if anyone reviewed both stories and if so then their response should provide an answer. If no one reviewed both stories, then that might provide an opportunity to request one of them to do so and relate their preference and reasons for such. All in all I would think it is merely a statistical quirk unless the pattern remains over many reviewers and with the order of presentation changed on occasion so that one is not picking the first one to review by the order it is presented (a possible gender bias maybe, who knows). Good luck. Take care. Vern
