I think my questions were pretty clear. I think your answers weren't. And I think repeatedly saying "I can only respond to what you say, not what you mean" has an almost ridiculous air of better-communicator-than-thou that outdoes my 10th grade English teacher and that was, in this case, ironic.

Let's all move on.

The horse is dead, you can stop beating it.

Your own posts were a perfect example of not communicating clearly.

Actually, it's a quote from my father...

And some of the responses were perfect examples of reading too fast and responding too quickly.

Now...let's all move on...

Why would you leave out the part of my post where I said the same thing albeit with the imagery of assaulting a deceased equine?

Feel free to actually point out which posts you're referring to.

:) Since this thread has already been hijacked and trying to read it made my head hurt:

I hate it when people say "let's move on" as though their word is THE last word. If it was really about moving on, why respond in the first place?

But, I think we should move on. :p

^^^ Well, I would respond, but I've moved on. :p

^^^ So have I so pretend you can't see this post. :p

"Let's all move on" should be added to the drinking game. :)

Sorority recruitment is just like college admissions. The formal math requirement at my university (and most others) when I applied for admission was three years - but there's no way I would've gotten in if I had only taken three years of hs math. It's a competitive process, and the kids I was competing against for admissions had more impressive records than that. So of course I needed to do more than what was just "required," knowing that the admission standards had basically become moot.
