Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

I rather like "ninny".
As in "Ninnyhedron". :D

Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

Oooh, skank. I wish I were fun enough to deserve that.

This is exhausting. I need a coffee break.

And before you ask: No. I concede nothing. :twisted:

Hey I'm Irish, now I am offended. :wink:
True story: A friend of mine, actually a mentor in graduate school was in a meeting at a user facility. Basically, a bunch of people getting together to see who gets to run experiments in the next quarter. He's from Dublin, graduate school in the US, and at that time was a postdoc at a university in Wales trying to get time at a facility in England. He and a guy from an English university were fighting over access on one beamline, and the English guy says "You Americans are all so self-important."

My buddy replies, "I'm not American, I'm Irish!"

His boss elbowed him and said, "You're not helping."

What are the circumstances? I dunno about others, but your question is meaningless to me unless there are circumstances.
