Yep, y'all're right, this is not about the weekly theme. It's about the weekly mail, and I decided to post here in this underused forum for the obvious reason.

One of the E-mails to Anu this week concerns "dilemma" vs "dilemna," an issue I'd never heard of before except when it was once brought up here and tsuwm set the world straight:

A thought:

Anu set his correspondent straight as tsuwm did the board members. Still, I'm thinking of sending the lady an E-mail and inviting her to participate here. If she and her 20 friends thought "dilemNa" was correct, then they need to be among us.

Comments?

Where have I been? I've never even heard of "dilemna."

[Sparteye wanders off, looking up the chimbley of her libary fireplace, hoping to find a clue.]

Sparteye asks: Where have I been? I've never even heard of "dilemna."

Zackley my point. I hadn't either 'til someone brought it up here. And I can tell you where you've been. In all the "right" bars

I done went ahead and E-mailed my namesake inviting her aBoard.

For you, good! I also emailed that guy who had an interesting perspective on the Viet vets - some new blood would always be welcome round these prats, sorry that should read parts
