This quoting of quotes of quotes can screw things up as in:-

A well-versed flow of verbal diaorrhea?Cheers/73

-----------------------------------------------
The only problem here is that I (G0TEZ) did not write the above, whether
it
be 'verbal diarhoeia' or whatever.
I have never, to the best of my memory, used words like 'pulchritude' or
'obfuscation', the second one came from the New Jersey Shakespeare;
used long, flowery language like that.
I know who did make the first quote.
I'm sorry all this had to travel around the world but, believe it or not,
I had nothing to do with it. It was all quotes of quotes of my bulls.
I only use a long word for accuracy, where a short one won't do and always
have.
The longest word I ever came across which didn't have a shorter form was -
ultraparadoxicality.
It's a technical word, very little used. I do have a qualification which
allows me to use it too.
Sorry Allen, and any others. I didn't do it.
All the best - Ian, G0TEZ @ GB7YFS.#26.gbr.eu
