Boring was a shorthand for repeating things important enough to bear repetition. Likewise, I don't care if you never post another nasty message here again. But, unlike you, I will not encourage you to refrain from your impulse to send nasty messages. Indeed, feel free Carol, post nasties with abandon, when and as you feel the need. BTW, what specifically are you referring to that you're so bored by that you got upset enough to write in about? ----- Original Message ----- From: Carol Kirschenbaum To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 8/4/2006 7:10:29 PM Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: FW: Mel Gibson, here I come >I'm boring myself and nobody cares anyway. ck: True! Since other lit-id subscribers' standards are as high as yours, you can accurately assume that you're boring the rest of us as well. Speaking for myself only, not only don't I care if you never post another sado-masochistic message here again, I encourage you to refrain from your impulse to send any message that bores even you. hope this helps, Carol
