Gain me again, or nil.

A hand-painted sign bearing this cryptic message stands near
an old country church in Hertfordshire, England, north of London.

What does it mean?

And "A hand-painted sign bearing this cryptic message stands near

served as a masterful diversion or has an answer?

All you have to do is rearrange your thinking, Bobby.

Dr. Rational asked for an original enigma.

The cryptic message, "Gain me again, or nil," is an anagram of "an original enigma."

Took forty one posts to solve: probably a thread record. So quite difficult. On a Mensa Ten Scale, I don't know
how it would rate. Thank you, Andy. Would you like the honor of doing another one or return to solving?

Anagrams: Rearrange all of the letters in one word or phrase to form another word or phrase, and you have an anagram. People have been playing around with anagrams for thousands of years In the third century B.C. the Greek Poet Lycophron made anagrams for the amusement of the king. Here are three of US Presidents as an example:

1. HUG GORES WEB (11 Letters)............. 1. George W. Bush (Same 11 Letters)

2. MARRY JIM ETC (11 Letters)................ 2. Jimmy Carter (Same 11 Letters)

3. VETOED HORSE LOOTER (17 Letters)... 3. Theodore Roosevelt (Same 17 Letters)

So, Andy, would you like to compose three Anagrams of RHP Members' Nicknames who actively post to this forum? ~Doc R.

Most nicknames are too short to be useful.
