What Barry really means to say is that some here prefer to post on a hit-and-run basis, without ever really engaging with anybody else on a sustained basis. Others (like me) enjoy going at it hammer and tongs for as long as a discussion interests them and they have posts left. <snip> > > I realize > > people sometimes get extremely attached to what they write. > > For it to become a ruling/consuming passion seems unhealthy. > > Whatever.

Of course, Barry was actually only responsible for four of my last 30 posts. As I said, some people here have a vastly exaggerated idea of their influence on other people's posting habits. > The thing is, if history is any indicator, next > Saturday she'll still be fuming over this week, > and will come back angry as a wet cat and spoiling > for a fight, so with any luck *that* will be a > "short posting week" for her, too, without any > further intervention on my part. As Barry knows, my posting weeks have tended to be short since the current posting limits were imposed; it's not something new as he pretends. It's my posting preference given the limits. As he also knows, the notion that I "fume" over the week past is his wishful thinking, not the reality. Barry makes up almost everything he says about me. Whatever he tells you about me, you can be virtually certain it's either flatly untrue, a wildly misleading distortion, or a significant exaggeration. Why he chooses to live in a fantasy world is an interesting question. And I'm delighted to have made these points with my last post for the week. I had a fine time, and I'll see everybody on Saturday.
