This is becoming boring. Lots of fascinating threads to discuss: war in the large world, things, philosophy, and I have to get in my mailbox posts on nettiquette and further insults ('shut the -- up' -- is he God?) The poster of today claims: >(a) no one but the subject has participated in the thread "Re: META". But actually two posters have: one on May 14, to the effect: "[It's not] 'your fault'; another one on May 14 to the effect, "amigo". Perhaps the poster of today's post is unable to reply an intelligent criticism on the poster's use of 'solecism'. I would expect an apology on having misjudged. Listers: If you do not want to engage in meta-list debate, please ignore the thread. It _is_ interesting for me, but it's not obvious the main purpose of the list. Do not allow it to influence the posts you contribute to the forum. Thanks, JLS **************Recession-proof vacation ideas.
