I wasn't aware of anyone from "there" OR "here" being silly enough to agree with me; most just tolerate me. Lawson, I don't want to turn this into a debate; IMO that's what YOU want to do, out of a.m.t. "habit." That's just what one has been trained to do over there. Don't like what someone says? Turn it into a protracted debate. And that's Ok, for those who enjoy that sorta thing and think they're going to live forever, and have time to waste arguing. All I've been trying to suggest to you over here is that your posts, *besides* the sheer number of them, are striking me as rather catechism-like. In France you occasionally meet people who cannot speak EXCEPT in the words of the catechism. They were, in their youth, forced to memorize thousands and thousands of lines of Catholic dogma, word for word. They got their hands slapped big-time if they messed up even one word of a phrase. Now, in their 50s and 60s and 70s, they just continue to spout catechism. A friend of mine, who is actually a priest himself (and a fairly free-thinking one) speaks of this phenomenon sadly. He points to one such woman in the village and says, "Since I moved here six years ago, I haven't heard her speak a word that was *not* directly from the catechism except "bonjour" et "bonsoir." There is a TM "catechism." "For every question we have a prepared answer." Too often, these hundreds of posts of yours here at FFL seem to me to be like that old woman reciting catechism. Someone says something, and you trot out response 34B. And you're trotting it out trying to impress or silence people who, for years or decades, taught the catechism classes. Unc, who'd much rather hear what YOU think... To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
