Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 People on All Lists have their own favorite conversation stoppers: I'm going to name them by the frequency they occur: 1) To address just one paragraph, sentence or even just one word of what you write. 2) To write not about what you wrote, but about another subject your post reminded them of. 3) To use your post to show how glib, or witty they can be. 4) By ignoring your ideas and attacking your credibility or qualifications to have such ideas. 5) By simply talking of something else. I'm sure you could think of many more, or change the subject altogether, or make a joke. Anyway, usually by the 3rd or 4th post in any thread the subject matter is no longer the same.

I'm not trying to be witty or glib because i am not. I am giving due attention to your idea, i'm awed by your credibility and qualifications regarding the above.this is all i am referring to and talking about at the moment. and i agree 100%. all is change...but the changeling cannot be found or talked about. fascinating rhythm though, and a swell dance for mystic dancers whenever, wherever and winkin', blinkin' and nod. now what what was the conversation about originally? i mean the 'original' conversation. now that would be a show stopper for sure. in the first conversation who knew that the other understood words like themselves? that was some smart monkey! ..b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
