Like wwh, I would be hard pressed to define a best moment. I just checked and realised that it has been just over a year since I registered on the board and I have lost count of the new words that I have learned; the number of times I have fired up my OED to look up something, gone off on a search engine induced (inspired?) tangent never to be seen again; the bits and pieces of local flavour from locales around the globe that I have savoured.

On the down side there is at least one grievous flaw with the board as it is now structured:

1. There should be warning labels, like on cigarette packages.
Warning: This site might be cause large spans of time to vanish without a trace.
Warning: Visiting this site might result in you having to stay up until 1:30 in the morning (again) to finish that assignment you were going to finish before you decided to just to read one or two short posts.


Like Wiarton Willie, every once in a while, I poke my head up through the pile of stuff that has buried me to see what’s going on.
