Dear colleagues:
Your moderator simply must, from time to time, extol the virtue of an
on-topic discussion, while simultaneously objurgating the vice of
loosely-hanging, just-begging-to-be-snipped, dangling little off-topic
threads. I beseech each and every one of you to view this as a
character flaw on my part, and not a reflection on any other resident of
our quaint little half-acre of cyberspace.
Once again, a moment has - all unanticipated - arrived and triggered an
impulse. I simply must get this off my chest before my head explodes.
Those of you who know me understand that this would be a singularly
unattractive picture. Those who do not are welcome to engage in lurid,
preferably off-list, speculation.
Ahem.
In a word: Harrumph!
I would be most grateful if Kindly suppress the urge to further poke
this particular thread with pointy sticks.
Sincerely yours,
-dan.
