probably why I missed most of the dynamic spinning into some of the more recent dustups - which have spurred all this gnashing of teeth. That characterization (gnashing of teeth) not meant to mean a problem hadn't developed - it had. However, the focus is on the wrong thing. Maybe if more of us a) bowed out of those threads... but also b) paid enough attention to occiasionally chime in a bit of reason in the spinning insanity... it wouldn't get to that point. I, share, a bit of the blame in that. A few taps on the shoulder of friends sometimes works something a kin to a splash of cold water in the face when someone has begon to move to hysterics.

Oh well. Done. Hopefully growth (collective) occurs. And we can go back to being silly, inane, and having a heck of a good time.
