Geeze, Louise! (Not you, Louise.) Can't you people trim your posts? My
scrolling finger is worn out! And why am I getting 5 TC digests in a
single day? (Actually postmarked within
90 minutes...) Shouldn't they be going out once, at midnight?

Thank you Alex. Allow me to add that no one should ever post a mystery
link, much less inexplicably respond to whatever was in the mystery link.
Aside from bad manners, I believe this babbling bullshit is the inevitable
result of the proliferation of social media through hand held electronic
devices, a disease which is dumbing down both our communications and
ourselves. As a result I am just about to give up on this list and the others
to
which I subscribe.
Try this: Sit down ONCE A DAY at your computer (Not your cell phone!) in
the hope that something interesting has been posted. If and when you choose
to respond begin by stripping each and every impertinent item from the post
then respond in a cogent manner using complete sentences with correct
punctuation. It is not difficult to do so. The fundamentals of this technique
are taught to grade school children.
Dare I suggest an attempt at craft? Is it too much to hope that I might
occasionally be treated to the artful retelling of a tale, or perhaps a
witticism? I would prefer a description of events more elucidating than,
"...it
was dark. We turned left and then we turned right".
Most of you are old farts, you have plenty of time, so try doing it right!
