Re: But AWADtalk is a closed preserve of self-enforced mediocrity.

could be true.. but it could just be a general statement, thrown out to put us on the defensive..

Dr Bill works hard to keep posting interesting words, some of us respond....

My dear Mr. Bingley, gives us even more interesting words in context.

first, since AWAD is not closed, (in any sort of general sense, and specifially has only once, band one person..(who might well have returned if it was done discretely..) that part of the statement is not true.

as for the charge of mediocrity-- what have you personally done to try to change things? and what has been done to thwart your efforts? can you even prove interesting words have been ignored and threads about them have died out?

as we say in NY --Put a plug in it.. (any one beside me know were that expression originates?)
