Whoops. "Detrius" has been in my personal vocabulary for years. It
probably originated in a mis-reading of detritus. In my mind it
means "rubbish." Alas this is not true for anyone else.
This was in reply to my having written
Just wondering about the detrius--how much is safe to handle, etc.
I'd meant this heavy criticism to go to David only. My reply feature
gives me the choice of 'to sender,' 'to all,' and 'to list.' I hit 'to
sender,' thinking that the program would take care of things without
further instruction. Ha.
In any event, I was wondering if Detrius might have been a minor
Persian tyrant who never quite got around to invading Greece.
