I take it you are a T. H. White fan? (You forgot the "que") <g>

[Toni Savage]

I'm not and I don't get it (I'll bet some others don't, either, so I'll be the front man...)

Can someone explain, please?

Back in the early years (Edward 1 - AD1276 or so) when they were looking for king Athur it was reported that a grave was discovered
at Glastonbury of a very large man with the inscription 'Hic iacet sepultus inclitus rex Arthurus in insula Avalonia'. ("Here lies
King Arthur in the island of Avalon"). FYI it was reburied in high pomp and splendour and became a site of pilgamage until the
reformation.

T. H. White in his 'Once and Future King' (the first book was made into the film 'Sword in the Stone' which I believe was the first
full-length all cartoon film (ie all drawn, no added faces etc) and also into the musical Camelot ) - shortened that to 'Here lies
Arthur, Once and future king' -- or in Latin 'hic iacet Arturus rex quondam rexque futurus' the last four words of which became the
title of the tetralogy "The Once and Future King"


Hence Dave's response to your "DQ,DF? Dealerus Quondam, Dealerus Futuram?" - he was asking/expecting (by parallel) 'dealerus
quondam dealerusque futurus' or some such although I suspect the latin for dealer might be better as dux = (duke or leader) in
which case = dux quondam duxque futurum'

If Dave doesn't mind being called 'duckie' that is but dux seems to fit better than disjecto, distinguo or distribuo, all of which
imply a degree of logicality
