Well, I just read the list of members online and found this: -- In the past 3 days, the most popular thread for everyone has been &quot;Sample of formal letter writing&quot;. The post with the most views is &quot;Live chat room&quot;. The most replies _were_ made to &quot;GUESS MY WORD&quot; -- The first two sentences are in a present tense while the last one uses Past Simple. What&#39;s the reason? Thanks in advance, Anton
