You are so cute, David. It does seem, doesn't it, as if we need hugs and
kisses and decorations and emoticons to convey that we're not traffic cops
barking out instructions? I know that sometimes on another list, someone
will ask a question and I'll go off Googling for the answer because the
question was interesting to me (and often a break from whatever I'm working
on), and I'll lickety-split plop down the URL and click Send, never thinking
that someone might interpret it as a snippy response.
Maybe we can create a new word that covers it all. We have a "family" word
that fulfills that purpose. It's some kind of (Polish, Russian, Jewish?)
exclamation of joy in the beauty and adorableness of a baby -- the word is
"Yoi" and it's pronounced like "Joy." It says so much -- I love you, I thank
God you exist, and so forth. Maybe techwr-l needs something like that. I'm
sure we all love each other, down deep, even though we don't know each other
really.
