I await private congratulations and public condemnation.


Will you accept public congratulations instead? I think that occasional reminders of why this Board is are very useful. I tend to post in spurts, and I have often gone a day without posting at all. All the same, many of those threads did start off as discussions about words, and I think that we must expect meanderings to happen. Perhaps a gentle nudge within the thread would help. For example the thread on "bodacious tatas" could have developed into a discussion of the origin and significance of "bodacious" rather than a discussion of mammary glands. I think reminders of the sort you posted are useful, as long as they do not stifle the anarchic spirit which has contributed much to the success of this Board. An occasional tap on the shoulder is much to be preferred over a moderated forum.
