that

who was that man that used my computer?
who was the man that used my computer?

which sentence means what, do you think?( is 'which sentence means what, do you think?' grammatically correct, anyway?)

for me the former suggests, HE who asks the question sees the man who used it at the moment (he/they) (is/are) doing so
(asking the question), but (he/they) do(es) not know him.
is the above sentence correct with 'they'?

with regard to the latter, it is free of such connotation; it simply means, 'Who used it?'.

any objections concerning my punctuation?

as regards your punctuation, it is abysmally wrong.
is ' as regards' correct?

hello clive,

i have just realised you referred to anonymus, and anonymus probably referred to my 1st letter that he found incoherent.
it was a rethorical question, put to me.
