Chances are the web form submit was received and replied to, I know I
replied to a number of them today.  I'll need more information to be
able to know if one was yours.  As far as mailing me at my addresses,
don't, you'll be fighting heavy antispam filters and if you are an
unknown, it's unlikely you'll get through to my personal address.  Mail
helpdesk at cotse.net instead.

Anyone who thinks 'Ur' is a word is already doomed.

If you think 'Ur' is a word, how can anyone believe you think?

Not to be a buttinsky here, but I think you're complaining about the
misuse of the word "Ur."  Because Ur is a word, a very old word, you can
find in any English dictionary.  It is the name of an ancient
Sumerian city on the Euphrates River, in ancient Chaldaea, land that is
now in s. Iraq.   Easton's antique bible dictionary says this about it,
although the dates given were completely artificial, since human history,
and biblical history, is vastly more ancient, as we now know:

Ur

Light, or the moon city, a city "of the Chaldees," the birthplace
of Haran #Ge 11:28,31 the largest city of Shinar or northern
Chaldea, and the principal commercial centre of the country as
well as the centre of political power. It stood near the mouth of
the Euphrates, on its western bank, and is represented by the
mounds (of bricks cemented by bitumen) of el-Mugheir, i.e., "the
bitumined," or "the town of bitumen," now 150 miles from the sea
and some 6 miles from the Euphrates, a little above the point
where it receives the Shat el-Hie, an affluent from the Tigris.
It was formerly a maritime city, as the waters of the Persian
Gulf reached thus far inland. Ur was the port of Babylonia,
whence trade was carried on with the dwellers on the gulf, and
with the distant countries of India, Ethiopia, and Egypt. It was
abandoned about B.C. 500 but long continued, like Erech, to be a
great sacred cemetery city, as is evident from the number of
tombs found there. See Easton on ABRAHAM 54 The oldest king of Ur
known to us is Ur-Ba'u (servant of the goddess Ba'u), as Hommel
reads the name, or Ur-Gur, as others read it. He lived some
twenty-eight hundred years B.C., and took part in building the
famous temple of the moon-god Sin in Ur itself. The illustration
here given represents his cuneiform inscription, written in the
Sumerian language, and stamped upon every brick of the temple in
Ur. It reads: "Ur-Ba'u, king of Ur, who built the temple of the
moon-god." "Ur was consecrated to the worship of Sin, the
Babylonian moon-god. It shared this honour, however, with another
city, and this city was Haran, or Harran. Harran was in
Mesopotamia, and took its name from the highroad which led
through it from the east to the west. The name is Babylonian, and
bears witness to its having been founded by a Babylonian king.
The same witness is still more decisively borne by the worship
paid in it to the Babylonian moon-god and by its ancient temple
of Sin. Indeed, the temple of the moon-god at Harran was perhaps
even more famous in the Assyrian and Babylonian world than the
temple of the moon-god at Ur. "Between Ur and Harran there must,
consequently, have been a close connection in early times, the
record of which has not yet been recovered. It may be that Harran
owed its foundation to a king of Ur; at any rate the two cities
were bound together by the worship of the same deity, the closest
and most enduring bond of union that existed in the ancient
world. That Terah should have migrated from Ur to Harran,
therefore, ceases to be extraordinary. If he left Ur at all, it
was the most natural place to which to go. It was like passing
from one court of a temple into another. "Such a remarkable
coincidence between the Biblical narrative and the evidence of
archaeological research cannot be the result of chance. The
narrative must be historical; no writer of late date, even if he
were a Babylonian, could have invented a story so exactly in
accordance with what we now know to have been the truth. For a
story of the kind to have been the invention of Palestinian
tradition is equally impossible. To the unprejudiced mind there
is no escape from the conclusion that the history of the
migration of Terah from Ur to Harran is founded on fact" (Sayce).

I stand corrected.  Yes, 'Ur' is a word, but not as the OP used it.
He/She/It used 'Ur' as if it was the same thing as "your".  A practice
that positively makes my skin crawl and should be a capitol offence to
use it like that outside the context of SMS text messages on cell phones
and such.

I disagree emphatically.   If a poster wishes to paint themselves as a
wannabe 1377 t0d13r, so be it. In fact it's sorta handy for separating
out the wheat from the chafe. The instant you see someone is so
freaking lazy they won't exert the effort it takes to type out 4 letter
words, you know whatever they're saying can be summarily discarded.

You know, I have to confess a certain level of wisdom in that.  It would
probably not even be very difficult to work up a scorefile entry to spot
it in the subject line.  I'm not sure about scoring on the body though,
I don't think slrn does that. (time to rtfm)
