var: Most kindly thank you for the encomiums. Actually, "bubbling" is becoming a very common neologism, meaning to reply to a thread or followup in order to bring it to the top of the topics list. But be careful where you use it. At some sites it is encouraged and in others roundly c ondemned, with dire threats

It also means to become moist (I mustn't pursue this one). There are a dozen earlier meanings too, that you can find in Cassell's etc but I'm mainly interested in neologisms

Ken, if you're listening, I now make it a practice to go there first

var: Your proposed project is fascinating, but I am wondering whether you will find a dozen, though I'm sure you can enlist at least three or four. Doesn't WS have a routine for taking polls

If you can't find the little red flashing PM flag, which I'm still looking for, but wish to comment further, I am dalehileman@verizon.net and don't care who knows it

Thank you again for your interest and a warm welcome while I am still able

But who is the other "bot"
