    ,,,back in the Dark Ages when we used to write stuff. You know, actual
    words making sentences and paragraphs. Links are nice, of course, but a
    card catalog is NOT communication. You DO remember card catalogs,
    right? Lovely things made of oak with brass fittings...

    His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of morbid curiosity.

    I agree. This group should be called the "gggg gggg group of perpetual links." Mostly click-bait links.

    He does the same danged thing in soc.history.medieval too.

    What is it about "discussion" that gggg gggg doesn't
    understand?

    Nyssa, who remembers writing answers to many "discussion
    questions" during her schooldays, so knows how to write
    both sentences and paragraphs

    Ah, yes those were lovely well-crafted items meant to
    last through a several lifetimes of hands pawing through
    the drawers full of cards seeking knowledge.

    Nyssa, who wishes modern woodworking talents were up to
    those challenges these days
