Guest guest Posted January 28, 2003 Report Posted January 28, 2003 How delightful that you looked it up and discovered the method to my madness. *lol* I found it most fitting of myself at any rate, and as time has played out, wonderfully fitting of this group as well. I love words and pawing through a big dictionary. Are you a fellow logophile? If you are then this site will be enjoyed: http://phrontistery.50megs.com/ ~ P_T ~ Nothing would more contribute to make a man wise than to have always an enemy in his view. ~ Lord Halifax ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> , AnnaJames91@c... wrote: > Since, I joined, I've been trying to figure out what feral meant.
