I could feel the accent, themilum. It only missed me by an inch. BTW if people continue to take liberties with my handle, I may have to return to my sock puppets. My sock puppets are generally more disrespectful of me than you are, so that would be a defence of last resort. Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: A Simple I.Q.

No, what is needed in the word "touchee" is a "y", Melt.

If we need an antidote for smilies around here, we must be overdosing on peace and goodwill. I wish we had a smiley wearing reindeer antlers or a Santa's hat. That would relieve the tedium of good cheer, Wordwind.

It is often said that we humans prefer the spectacle of discord to the spectacle of unrelieved cordiality. [Would anyone pay money to see a "cordiality"? Now a prize fight, or just a good scuffle in the street, that's something else altogether.] It's a good thing Christmas comes only once a year.
