Made immortal, in slightly altered form, by my namesake (W. C. Fields) in The Bank Dick: "Don't be a luddy duddy. Don't be a moon calf. Don't be a jabbernowl. You're not those, are you?"

Now--I didn't post anything in Chris Sandrolini's thread, partly because by the time I saw it there were quite a few responses already. But could you folks from now on please put threads about the W's.A.D. in Weekly Themes? Thanks!

Yes, and yes. I am somewhat debating moving the threads and notifying their originators, but I think I'll give it a while--I doubt that posting W.A.D. topics in this category will become a trend. ANYONE who doesn't know how to delete or change their post: hit the EDIT button in the same box as the post.

They generally give warning that they're going to move it and then they move it. It leaves a link in the forum the thread was originally posted in.
