Tell us something.: I play traditional Irish and Scottish music.

The approach to style is by way of plainness, simplicity, orderliness, sincerity."

Ah, I suppose that's fair. Sorry; some of my friends and I will now and again poke at each other like that, deeming ourselves as having earned the right to do so by virtue of our having attained to various but nevertheless indelible states of seniority (but rather than "grizzled", I prefer to promote myself as a "vintage item". And very collectible too, by the way, I like to think :wink: ). But that said, indiscriminate artless digs will not do because they're boring and of course are shorn of wit. One has to have that just-so worthy inspiration, and yours was too good to pass up. If I have offended, please accept my apologies. Again.

Not to beat a dead horse, but ... I always wish I could write in such an accent, but I'd probably screw it up, so I don't. so I just enjoy reading your posts ;) funny, i generally don't have a problem understanding them... but then, I can understand the dialogue in the stories I write, too...
