	Tearsofjoy  +  189098 Thu, 26 Jan 06 07:04 PM I don't live next to anyone named Richard , but I do read a lot of Readers' Digest, where I once found this - ABCDQTT? SICDQTT. I'm sure you can decode that! I didn't get that one first time round, but since then I realised what this kind of puzzle was about. Cheers,  - Joy Tearsofjoy
