Those of us of lesser intellectual prowess than TSUWM, Jazzoctopus, et al could use a little help!
here's a little help then: I don't capitalize tsuwm, at all.
tsuwm, the capitalization was added simply to emphasize that yours is an extreme degree; that even among those of distinguished intellectual prowess, YOU stand out in a class by yourself.

I don't think it was. I think he meant what I feel:
tsuwm, no one comes close, Dear. We all look up to you.

As I just wrote to Kieva, I am sorry for the confusion ...
I read YOU stand out in a class by yourself and my warped mind took it literally.
So, sorry Kieva, and, Dear tsuwm, to me you are the one and only tsuwm ... unique.
Apologies all around.
Going back into that black hole I never should have left and pulling it in after me.
wow

Yeah, JTD, I got gas in Chicago too. But it was because of the food. Nah, just kiddin'. Musick showed us a real fun time. Worth another visit if your parents are headed out that way.

how did this thread go from crass solicitation to everyone doing interpretations of someone else's post? (hi to jackie, wow, geoff/keiva, and a special shout out to musick)
[aside to G/K: goldibear has now posted twice here, with about an 18 mo. interregnum -- for my part I was just trying to discourage the commercial trend of these 8)
this has, after all, been a very spam-free zone!]

Thanks, wow, for seeing the good in my original "Atlanta Words courses" posting.
I was merely seeking to extend an opportunity. And the bulletin board concept seemed the perfect forum to do this:
a) Subject-specific*;
b) Unobtrusive; AND
c) Efficient, Economical, Environmentally-friendly!
* Ideally, I would have posted to an "Atlanta words-lovers" b board. Since I do not know of one (Does anyone else?), I put "Atlanta" in the posting's title to dissuade non-Atlanta people in AWADtalk from opening the announcement, and therefore from being subjected to information that would be irrelevant to them.
------------------------------------------------
Jazzoctopus and tsuwm:
According to profiles, you two do NOT live in Atlanta.
A fact which makes me curious about 2 things:
1) If you DID live in Atlanta, would you still have viewed my announcement as a negative thing?
2) You are both apparently, and understandably, averse to "advertisements" and "spam." i.e., to information coming your way that you do not find useful/beneficial. Me too. Anyway, then ... Why did either of you bother to open a posting entitled "Atlanta Words courses?"
------------------------------------------------
And, for my future benefit, do either of you have any alternate suggestions for:
1) A title for the posting that would have more clearly let you know upfront that the information therein would be useless to non-Atlanta people like yourselves?
2) A better medium for letting Atlanta people know of this "Atlanta Words courses" opportunity?
I look forward to hearing from you both regarding the above issues.
------------------------------------------------
Also, tsuwm, you wrote:
"I was just trying to discourage the commercial trend"
By "commercial," do you mean "involving money?" If so, then if I were selling $35 dictionaries in your city for $1 each, would you yourself NOT want me to post an announcement of such information in AWADtalk?
I am desperately trying to understand whence came the umbrage.
Thanks much. Pam
