if the answer is gee whiz, one would then have to ask, is gee whiz a short form for jesus?
i believe u misinterpreted OM's post. i think she was agreeing with u. just a thought...you might want to consider changing the terminology you use to something a bit more pallatable for the readers of your responses? you refer to others posts using words such as 'superficial, frenetic, without depth, simplistic interpretation, mental cache dump, etc. if one is trying to get a point across it is much better to do so without attempting to offend the other, because if u do, even if the words u are saying make sense, the reader will not have a good interpretation of the 'lesson', because they will not appreciate the 'teacher'...your 'meaning' doesnt have to be 'demeaning'. u have some good thoughts and comments...if they were slightly less caustic they might be a bit easier to swallow...again, just an observation On Apr 27, 1:31 am, Slip Disc <[email protected]> wrote: > In your situation there is a huge difference, in that the group is not > local to your community.
