talk to me word boy, i am the one who took a single work in a post, and in effect changed subjects..

Capfka's post was more or less on topic, and then the corrections followed, and i took info in the corrections to change topics..

and yeah it happens.. we had just about finished 'french' as an adjective... there weren't any really intriging discussions going on.. and so people responded to my comments...

sometimes, a off comment will come early in a thread, and be ignored, and then later brought up again (usually by someone else.) and the first person who posted then complains about either being chopped liver, or a *micky mantle.. at that point, we either continue with the tangent, or play with the words mantle/chopped liver, or the thread loses interest...

you've been a round a while now--and you seem smart enough, haven't you seen this pattern yet?
