never speak ill of the departed And when they come back?
Never speak ill at all, Faldage. We're just here for the fun of it. One tries to defend oneself when one is pilloried in a public posting, that is to be expected surely. There are gentler ways to dissuade than to disparage, don't you think? In any case, I miss tsuwm's poetic interventions. Tsuwm, Tsuwm, forgive poor Plutarch. Poor, imperfect Plutarch. Pluperfect Plutarch.

Forgive me also for teasing you, by asking with what you bait your breath? Colgate with bromide.

Dear Wordminstrel: On a Colgate University site, I found this: Seaweeds use vanadium bromoperoxidase, in the oxidation of bromide, as a defense mechanism against predators.
How much seaweed do you have to eat?
I went back and was not able to find out what value bromide would have associated with a toothpaste.
I found a site about aphthrous stomatitis, but the author was a real kook. I was involved in early dental fluoride programs fifty years ago. Sadly the same crowd of nuts that were against it then have been reincarnated and still using the same stupid sick arguments Let's not have a thread about that!.

I, like Tsuwm, choose to announce my intent to never post on this thread again. Furthermore I would like to urge all other members of good breeding to do the same. Let us each post on this thread our pledge never to post on this thread ever again. Unless, of course, someone posts something really stupid or some smart ass posts something just to have the last word.
Milum.

Your pith is only surpassed by your substance, wwh. Actually, I was thinking of methyl bromide.
To wit (from Google):
Methyl Bromide Challenge
There is no known single alternative fumigant, chemical, or other technology that can readily substitute for methyl bromide in efficacy, low cost, ease of use, wide availability, worker safety, and environmental safety below the ozone layer. Research by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) indicates that multiple alternative control measures will be required to replace the many essential uses of methyl bromide.

"What, never? No, never. What, Never? Well, hardly ever."
Dear Wordminstrel: Baiting your breath with methyl chloride could swiftly abate your breathing.

You should have turned the other cheek, Plutarch.

Does anyone remember the name for the rhetorical device for saying what you are not going to say?
