bel, I personally agree with you, but I'm pretty sure that with the old server, others have expressed serious reservations about chatting here. Unsure whether those reservations still apply.

a long time ago and far, far away, we arrived at a concensus (as much as we ever do here) that chatting was to be <ahem> tolerated so long as it was relegated to Miscellany (or was it Wordplay (or both)?). but [the chorus intones] why so? it was felt by a plurality, or more, that chattiness tended to decimate threads about words leaving only remnants of wordy threads. -joe (amanuensis) friday(!)
p.s. - hooray for a faster server... praise anu and pass the amunition.

Amunition = "I have a dream where society will replace guns with dictionaries." Right, tsuwm?

Jackie - you're in rare form! First painful windows and now weaponless societies! Keep those cards and letters (and loose associations) comin', folks! Just to aviod any ambiguity - that's all supposed to be a compliment [applause])

Thank you, wofa! And, bel, who knows--I just might be loose, with him! (Ha, D, bet I made YOU blush, now!) He has told me things about my heart that I didn't even know... Just to be sure that the record is straight--the quote in my preceding post is something Anu said. I noticed first that tsuwm had mis-spelled ammunition, and then: "Nuh-uh, he doesn't do that; there must be a specific reason he put it that way". And then that quote just leapt to mind, for some reason. And I wish he'd tell me whether I got it right or not, she whined petulantly.
