ellynmacg --- I object to the change made at "L". The item had nothing to do with Rule 5. Have reinstated it. I particularly refrained from posting items where Rule 5 applied. Imo it's a silly rule anyway. It's good policy and courteous to first allow the alleged transgressor to change the post first. ------------------- CLASSIC ACTORS A-Z: DAVID NIVEN A.

ellynmacg, the statement in "P" is inaccurate. Peter Sellers does not steal the jewel from Niven. The jewel is planted on Clouseau to draw suspicion away from Niven's character. _________________________________________________________________________________________ CLASSIC ACTORS A-Z: DAVID NIVEN A.
