Jackie,

Talking (writing) amongst one another in here is one thing...in semi-real time, even though these minds appear somewhat disincarnate in cyberland (am I making any sense? I'm at work. I think much more clearly at home in the wee hours of the morning).

Reading through the old threads from over a year ago is more like chasing ghosts....none of you are there anymore, so I can't even jump in and converse. You've all moved on, and in fact *some intriguing souls have disappeared entirely from this place (and long ago, though I have only just met them!). That's all I meant. And as the 'codes changed to links', or whatever is happening to reveal different threads each time one wanders back in there, it is a bit unusual.

As you get to know me, you'll find that I am mildly obsessed with all my (beloved)ghosts...(and I am sorry to say that I have more than my share) It wasn't meant to be offensive, or even *about you all.....

and it *was supposed to be about human language, and the uniqueness of it all....until as usual, my mind got spiraling off in another direction. Oh, where is spongeman when I need him?
