You are quick to condemn, slow to retract.

Shouldn't have counted on your sense of humor, I guess.

Dr Bill, I don't have the luxury to stay online at AWADtalk all day. I shall now try to reason with you (again, and for the last time this season, I hope): chopping liver and mantling are expressions that mean one has evidently ignored a previous post. Sparteye used the amputation example, you used the tool left in the abdomen. Fine. But what has come to be the norm at this, and other message boards I'm aware of, is you acknowledge the previous poster's comment first. Which you did later, thus demantling. Or something.

I don't really expect you to understand but at least others who read this will.

Have you had another look at any of those marvelous Yahoo language sites I sent you?
