One of the long-winded posters mentioned that he / she was an "implant," and often "marbled" at his / her surroundings. Anyway, I was just trying to add levity, sorry about your thread.

Ah I get the joke now  .
I wasn't focusing in on you. Cracking jokes to lighten the mood is one thing; extended heated discussions on unrelated topics is another. |

I saw it, but honestly that kind of "levity" isn't very humourous, just kind of mean. For all you know the person posting may not be a native speaker - the benefit of the doubt doesn't hurt now n then...

Point taken.  I still haven't had a chance to track down that post... but I apologize to the author if it was more than a simple typo. |

Jokes on my mistakes
I am sorry about my spelling/grammar mistakes in my two posts on Wayne. As someone has guessed, I am not a native English speaker, and my insufficient English appears to have become an object of some serious jokes. I do apologize. I just had to say something about the "Moorestown" posts on Wayne. I just hope that the readers have understood what I had meant in good faith in spite of my mistakes.

cosmopolitan,
I do remember your post now and you expressed yourself very clearly. Apparently I glossed over a few words that another poster later found to be humorous. I'm sure that no harm was meant but as I reacted to the "joke" as well, I once again apologize.
