    Correct Boris, given that "e" is the commonest letter in the language it it unusual for a piece of writing that long not to have any.

    Try this one. However, I think you solve it in a jiffy:

    Man of old, it is told Would search until he tired, Not for gold, ne'er be sold, But what sought he was fire. Man today, thou mayst say, Has quite another aim, In places deep, he did seek, To find me for his gain! What am I?

    Talk to you in a bit... :bugeye:

    Touching one, binding two,
    A one link chain holding those
    Who keep words true, 'til death rent it twain.

    Peace.

    Yo all you great peeps...


    A quick note to you all to say I'll be back properly tomorrow.
    My cable provider and ISP have fu*ked up big time and left me with no 'phone or Internet for a full weekend.

    So, they assure me that they are going to sort me out tomorrow.

    Keep riddlin'

    Man today, thou mayst say, Has quite another aim,
    In places deep, he did seek, To find me for his gain!
