I would still have to go over 740 threads, I didn't say I had to open them all!

Nope, definitely fewer threads than that. You should have read the clue more carefully. But no matter, you found it anyway

No, there are 740 threads there, though not all threads qualify, you first have to "see" them before you know that!

Surely it's only one subcategory of these 740 you need to look through?

And yes, a beautiful letter

I want to say those of you that gave away the trick should be disqualified from winning (yes, you know who you are).

Was it the 'attachment method' that you alluded to yesterday Jon?

I didn't allude to it. I just mentioned I found a trick. And someone else actually posted the trick out in the open. So now it's been made harder.

It was an inline image and not an attachment this time. So you actually have to go into the thread to find it. Looking at just attachments will not work.

Perhaps those that used the trick rather than just gave it away should be disqualified?

And, yes, I'm just jealous that I can't work out what it is
