[WikiEN-l] Jayjg is AWOL

[Puppy]

Bury? I see I have been unclear.

I'm not trying to "bury" a thing. I am saying this is a side issue, 
which complicates the thread unnecessarily with other issues. You might 
as well have said "No, I'm *not* going to keep this thread on topic, its 
far more important to me to move David's blunt approach and my 
objections to it to center and front. I will accuse anyone who thinks 
this is muddying the waters of trying to "bury" something, because if 
what *I* think is important is not addressed with what I consider 
adequate gravity, they're clearly trying to 'hide' something - because 
it could not *possibly* be that they disagree that OMG David said some 
Mean Stuff with Naughty Language The World Will End Oh My!"

If this is still unclear to you, I cannot help you.

Puppy has spoken, puppy is done.
