I dunno about all of that stuff Dale but as to alluding to other boards, I have to admit that it gets a little annoying. Even that little two-step you like to do; the "I'm not going to mention the other place because people don’t want me to", is getting a little tiresome.
It's a shame because you bring up interesting topics and points, but the constant comments make you seem immature; it has an aura of petulance, an "Oh ya, well I'll talk about it anyway and they can't say I am because I'm not using the name" thumbing of the nose to the group.
It is disrespectful, like putting your feet up on the table in somebody else's home when you've been asked not to. And based on the post you just made, the other boards seem to find your "other board" hyping tiresome too.
I imagine it is habit, like somebody you're talking with that constantly says, "my sister said this" or "yes, but my sister thinks that" instead of speaking from their own experience.
This might sound surprising, but I'm interested in what you have to say.
I am, on the other hand, not interested one whit in what some other person, on some other board, has to say.

Persiflage - light teasing - sounds very flowery (as in "I'll have those white lillies, and oh, can you add a bit of persiflage for colour?"). I had to look it up since it's not the most common word here in French Québec. O.k., I'll take it as that. I know I've got bad habits that are hard to break (I feel my Hubby nodding emphatically at that one, as I chatter happlily over breakfast and he needs a coffee in him before he's in any mood for a conversation.  )

I wasn't familiar with it either until just recently. It's an escellent expr and so now in order to firmly establish it in my vocabulary I drop it anywhere it seems to fit
Neither was Laverne. She said it sounds like a huge conflagration

conflagration
HA! That is oddly akin to my thinking it sounds like a flower - both of them need to be watered.

As I subscribe to a half-dozen such boards, I have six sets of rules to observe, and admittedly I get them mixed up. Worse yet, somestimes two different administrators at a single site will have conflicting rules, esp in the case of two boards which for reasons of protocol and mutual antagonism I cannot specify
Amazing! How do you find the time to water your flowers 4 times a week? This allright ? Thanks! Learning all the time.
