Yeah, they've bruined me for any other mailing list.
My good old friend Websters (m-w.com a must for all non native speakers,
and
maybe even for the natives
does not seem to know about the verb "to bruin", could you enlighten a
stupid please?
Cheers

A bruin is another name for bear. Surely you've had something ruin your
whole day. I would imagine that if you were eaten by a bear, your whole
day would be bruined.
Ahhh that explains why my friend Webster was talking about a bear all the
time I fed him "bruin".
Thx for the explanation and yes, of course, your conclusion seems
reasonable.
I will accept it *without* scientific proof.
