The sheer volume of posts about an archaic term stands as mute testimony to the current boredom of snail speed downloading. Probably better to go to a library (place with books) and check out all the volumes of Gibbons "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire". My 19 year old cat, by the way, still responds to being called "Kit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid, long before the Internet I’d practically live in my local library. I know I can’t get global posts like this at my library, unless I use their Internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was slightly more boring than this thread, so I'll concede the point to you. Thank you for your interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I ever insulted you or anyone here? No. “Slightly more boring than this thread”, if that’s the case then I would politely ask you to refrain from posting on my post. I don’t understand your passive aggressive reaction to my post. Do you have a problem with me? If so PM me. In any case, I personally wish you all the happiness in life.

In the future I'll refrain from trying to use humor in any form when the conversation involves you. One has to be careful around here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand humor Lawrence, my comics are all about humor, but saying "It was slightly more boring than this thread" does not come across as humor in any way at all to me. It was condescending and rude, I'm sorry you felt it was that way. Have a pleasant day sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime last year I researched this and was astonished by the cleverness of the people there who do this. And if I remember correctly isn’t it in a few small blocks of each other?
