But you can't make board members do or refrain from doing anything.

I second your plea for lexicological purity on the board, Father S., (may I call you S.?) but it is a pretty tall order. For example I, myself (sick), immediately after posting a similar call (I forget where exactly, and it's far too much trouble to chase up) was seduced by a posting just begging for a non-thread-relevant reply. I succumbed, to my eternal shame.

Maybe the entire board should be sub-divided into "Academic" (or whatever you care to call it) and "Chat". However, the "chat" content is, I submit, very important to the majority of our users.

And who was Number 2000, anyway? Do we know yet? If not, why not?

Actually I have just been watching "Love In A Cold Climate" on TV. Anyone care to start a thread re the comparative values (strictly lexicological, of course) of UK and US television?

I will probably be sorry I asked this, but this city boy has to -- What is an impacted heifer?
