This General Topic gets so little use, and its meaning is so unclear, that I respectfully suggest it be dropped

Otherwise thanks for Wordsmith,long may you toil

In theory it's where the occasional newbie poster could put their thoughts when prompted by the sort of tagline that Anu's running this week. Trouble is, a newcomer doesn't know their way around so tends to post a bit more randomly...

and we, being a bunch of anarchists, united in nothing but a love of language, tend to avoid talking about Anu's current postings much at all ~ isn't that wicked?!

Mav, thanks. But watch out with the tilde (~). While WS is much more liberal than other similar sites, in one such, nicknamed the "mutual recimination society," I was berated, torn limb from limb, and threatened with banning if I were to use it just once more

As long as the apostrophes go exactly where they belong, we have no problem with creative punctuation here

Fortunately, everyone will be drunk and have forgotten where they put them.

So, Dale, are you threading the needle or needling the thread?
