I don't get the "referring" you're referring to. What's the connection? are you one of those who just ignores the Subject line?? as to the rest of your questions, speculation seems futile. - joe (whistling in the dark) friday

No, I knew all along that the first part of the original post is the X-Bonus from A Word A Day for whatever day that was which the poster oddly annotated then added "and placebo(5) (a cure for nothing) in contrast to panacea".
People seem to be replying like they understand the meaning of the annotations and the comment, but I guess they don't after all. Is the emperor naked after all?

like they understand the meaning of the annotations and the comment Oh, Honey--I figured out long ago that if I strained my brain over stuff I may well never understand, I'd soon be going crazy. (And NO comments from the peanut gallery, tyvm!)

well, now you're moving towards (1)ad hominem argument.
it also occurred to me at the time that maybe he was enumerating stuff that he had to look up, but I didn't mention it because it seemed willfully attributive and potentially demeaning.
