Dern (and drifting still farther from this thread's subject...) - it *must* be
winter in this hemisphere, judging from posts like these two. Ha ha ha!

I can't help wondering if the fundamental problem alluded to in the above
observation is the "antiquated technology of this discussion board" or merely
human nature. Why bother to expend a modicum of contextually clarifying,
technology-aided, editing when it's easier simply to excise ruthlessly in the
Great Rush to express some thought temporarily atop one's mental stack?

Many of the casually-edited replies seen on RAS remind me of a spot-on
(considering the wearer!) T-shirt I saw: Who says I have ADHD? Hey - there
goes a chicken!!!

My Round File works great for lazily-edited RAS replies...if someone is too
lazy to properly edit, I'm too lazy to pay them any attention. It's not as if
posting on RAS is an emergency...
