Top #8028 - 11/28/00 05:51 AM Re: ballroom shanks old hand Registered: 03/16/00 Posts: 1004 Loc: London, UK Am I the only one too dense to understand why this inquiry is posted on a thread entitled "Words from medicine"? I was going to appeal to surrealism - what's in a title, sort of thing, but then decided not to. My suspicion (more seriously now) is that newcomers do not always find it easy to interpret the structure of AWADtalk (some, of course, taking to it like fish to bicycles), and may post their queries on whatever forum 'comes to hand'. If they stay, with time, their posts become more accurately targetted. But this is not a theory I would fall on my sword for.

The idea of crossing threads is entrenched on this board. And yes, lorenzo did not know his way around, and it looks like he may have disappeared. Counfond it.

God made threads to be as tangled As this meter to be mangled. Sad I made Lorenzo go; I won't do it any mo'.

Howsomever, I fear you may have given offense with this one. I now rue this trend I started, Mourn lorenzo, dear departed; Not all folks are loyal servants-- Non-believers can be fervents.
