These "oiks" Scottie, are the ultimate believers in and users of
figspeak, which probably does explain the humourlessness.
I just wanted to extend a little on the explaintion to the
figspeak-post. Figspeak does irritate me, but only when it is used as
big words with no content. I regret the way in which I reacted to what
I called figspeak on this list, though, because that had to do with
other issues (such as me feeling like a little inexperienced girl
sometimes on this list, and I probably am in some respects).
Anyway, after this post I will go back to what I have done for six
months or so, which is to keep quiet and let the discussion run its
course without my contributions. I will comply with the purpose of
this list if I feel I have something to say, and then limit it to
something that might add to the discussion. Which is what most
disturbs me about the aforementioned fruitrelated post, it is not only
plump, it is totally irrelevant and just a waste of the bowlers time,
much like this one, in fact.
