Thanks!

Thanks!

Can you translate the Egyptian/Yorkshire into English? You'd have a better chance of a response.

Sorry confusion: Does any Member have a late Family-member buried in the Citadel CAIRO, as I have two Sisters whose Grave I'm trying to locate where they died 1935? The thead Moderator suggests it may not be a successful enquiry, but as all else fails, I must try? Hoping it the case, they might then be able to advise regarding. Thanks for your patience!

OK, sorry can't help. We don't have many members resident in Cairo, I know many of us do visit but this is probably beyond our abilities. Is there not a website/forum in Cairo you can try?

Perhaps contacting the Cairo city authorities would be a good first step?

I get the uncanny impression that wozcav is actually a talkbot.

Wozcav: Sorry confusion: Does any Member have a late Family-member buried in the Citadel CAIRO, as I have two Sisters whose Grave I'm trying to locate where they died 1935?
ALICE: There is no need to apologize. What you said was either too complex or too simple for me.
Wozcav: The thead Moderator suggests it may not be a successful enquiry, but as all else fails, I must try?
ALICE: What is that?
Wozcav: Hoping it the case, they might then be able to advise regarding.
ALICE: Does that make you feel superior?
Wozcav: Thanks for your patience!
ALICE: Oh don't mention it.

Re: CAIRO FAMILY
 
OK, fine. I will spell it out.

Talkbots are known - amongst those who have ever spoken to one - for producing fragmented, syntactically eccentric phrasing that is similar in nature to those produced by wozcav. I therefore observed, in obviously far too subtle a way, that wozcav could be a talkbot. Putting it in another way, wozcav sounds like a talkbot (or if you prefer, talkbots sound like wozcav).

This was an attempt at so-called "humour", drawing an analogy between a talkbot, which is non-sentient, and wozcav, who one would presume is, in fact, sentient.

Happy to clarify further if needed.
