I note with interest that a trend that started with “…a post by Dale Wisely” has recently evolved into “…a thread by Dale Wisely.” Do I take this to represent an increase in the poster’s confidence that sufficient correspondents will post reactively to justify the term “thread?” And, if so, what next? “…a treatise by Dale Wisely?” “…an encyclopedia by Dale Wisely?” Is our bandwidth man enough to cope, I ask myself!
In other words, by posting here on this private board, we forfeit all claims to ownership of what we’ve written. (Sort of like submitting a joke to Reader’s Digest.) So, technically, every thread here is “A Thread by Dale Wisely.” But Dale, you really should stop arguing with yourself in the rubber room so much.
Yeah, but if I’d pointed that out, then my silly joke about Dale arguing with himself wouldn’t have fit. I’m all about making the jokes fit, the truth be hanged.
I think he’s pointing out the fact that he’s The Undisputed. It’s a nice, subtle reminder of just who’s in charge around here. Okay, maybe it’s not so subtle.
