>And I am still mildly bullshit about the many words wasted in AWADtalk about topics discussed by Quinion a couple years before they appeared in AWADtalk,

I am puzzled. This sounds like you are saying that because a topic has been discussed elsewhere, discussing here it is a waste of time. What a bizarre notion. I am quite sure that Mr Quinion would have no qualms about discussing a topic that had been covered here.
