Nancy:

This lady ('Violet') registered and posted a message five months ago, then never seemed to respond or return.  Odd, but it happens.  Although we have many 'regulars', these forums can be like a train station, with folks coming and going all the time.  Many seem to just pass through and never return, such as 'Violet'.  Some become inveterate posters (ahem) and some just 'drop in' occasionally, sometimes with many months in-between posts.  Everyone has their reasons and I don't question them.  We're just pleased to have as many members as we do (3200+) as well as a core of dedicated forumites who make the forums interesting, informative and fun. I appreciate all of them.

Jim,

I always take lost dogs back to their owner if they have a tag.  I guess I was just trying to find Violet to bring her back here.  Makes sense what you said though.
Hopefully Violet is doing OK.

I had to look up INVETERATE: (in·vet·er·ate)  1. settled or confirmed in a habit, practice, feeling, or the like: an inveterate gambler. 
2. firmly established by long continuance, as a disease, habit, practice, feeling, etc.; chronic.

Were you talking about yourself (ahem)?  I don't have as much time in as you do, but I'm working on it.  Hey, nice to learn a new word.  I feel smart already, and I'm going to impress someone with my new word today if I can push myself away from my computer.

Keep us educated with your big words.

I didn't realize how little-known the word inveterate is.  You're the second person to comment on it.  Still, I'm glad you're encouraging me to use - not really 'big' - but often less-common words.  I just assumed they made my posts more coherent and interesting.  I admit to feeling a bit embarrassed when I realize that folks are pulling out their dictionary to look up some word I've used in a post here.  But, at this point in my life, I'm not about to radically alter my writing style so I guess the dictionary should be kept close at hand awhile longer. 

I was referring to myself in my previous post.  I was attempting to be droll but I think the attempt may have failed.

I don't have as much free time as you might presume but I make the time to visit this site.  Sometimes only for 10 or 15 minutes or at odd hours, but I do try to read all the new posts and respond when appropriate.

Finally, I don't think you or anyone else posting here needs to learn any new words from me to feel smart.  They already are.

Jim,

I am sure I can speak for many, hopefully, in relaying that we love your writing skills and your use of impressive words.  I personally like the challenge of picking up my dictionary to check out new words.  My vocabulary is lacking, and I am surprised I made it through graduate school.  Most of my teachers made many comments on my papers, but they gave me some slack.

I probably spend more time on this forum than you do right now since I am dealing with my obsession.  Plus, I am a slow reader, and I have to really work hard to find the right words to express myself.  I think you are what might be called efficient in your reading and writing skills.  Thanks for all of the "good" that you add to this forum.  You are a wise and insightful person.

Hopefully Violet doesn't mind that we are using her post to communicate.  Maybe we will convince her to come back. 

Take Care,

Nancy

Yes, this is an old thread, but now that's it's been "reopened" I'm hijacking it!  I'm sure you expected no less from me 

Jim, I just wanted to say that now you and I can be droll together!   

I think most of us "inveterate" posters don't have as much free time as others might presume - but like you, I feel it's important for me to make the time.

Keep up the good work, Jim.

BTW, did you notice that I didn't have to ask what "coherent" meant?  I personally think your vocabulary has had a great affect on the majority of us.

Hugs to him.

Beam me up!

[Nancy Drew]

Don't know what in the heck that means DHM, but it was funny nevertheless.  I am in the process of watching all of the Star Trek episodes (only on episode 4 so still a newbie) so I assume that is where you are coming from.  Is Jim a Trekie?  He has got to be something.  I think Jan or someone maybe said he is in the witness protection program.  I also heard that Jim Scott is not even his real name.  Maybe his name has been changed to protect the innocent or something like that!!!  Anyway, this has turned out to be a fun place to go to get a laugh.  If Violet only knew what havoc she has created here.  We are calling you Violet.  And, Jim we might as well be talking in front of your face.  You are probably sitting back and getting a laugh!!!

So, with cell phone in hand you can work in a fish hatery and never grow up with the rest of us and have a funny name.  GREAT!
