I'm really not responsible when TEd goes off like that ... really.

Oh well then, I guess I must be subscribed after all. But I still don't know where to find this week's theme. If what it is this week is the top entry in "Active topics," "what it is," then, starts a new thread, and so how can the theme be called "weekly"?

I admit to not being as computer savvy as the average Wordsmith

Edited to discover that I had indeed not subscribed; so I summarily did so. According to the sub page, the free bulletin is now supposed to be mailed to me weekly. Huzzah, wonderful! and thanks all

However, they didn't ask my home address. How can they mail it to me if they don't have it




Dale, I'm not computer-savvy. I'm old, too. As are many of us. Ask your IT-savvy son if there's something you still don't undertstand about receiving a daily Word from Wordsmith by E-mail and a weekly newsletter from the same source via the same avenue.

to clarify (like butter...):

Anu sends out (via email) a daily AWAD, which is one word, usually pertaining to some theme. the theme changes each week. he also sends out (also via email), once a week, a "newsletter", with comments from readers about the weekly words. subscribers to the "free" AWAD get both of these. the "premium" AWAD apparently does not contain the small advertisements.

for further clarification, the "Weekly Themes" category here at the AWAD Board, is designed for discussion about these weekly themes. however, as has been previously stated, board posters don't always follow the guidelines.

and to furthurly (un)clarify, the (Old) Weekly themes. (have been consolidated into a single forum above) Topic [so-called "below-the-fold"] contains nine more themes. these were actually the first nine "weekly themes" following the instantiation of these forums. but after doing this for nine weeks, Anu decided that a new theme every week was cumbersome, or counter-productive or ?? and came up with the theme "Weekly Themes - Topic of the Week" for the weekly AWAD topic (but leaving the original nine for the community to use or abuse as we saw fit).

see? it all makes perfect sense (if you've been here since week 5 or thereabouts).

Thanks fellas for your tact and patience, and forgive an old guy who can't handle the complexity of it all owing to only about a decade and a half of experience with the PC
