Don't you love it when the most suspended member in this forums history for personal insults, Bill Ryan, complains about being mistreated by a moderator. It's hilarious! I personally have absolutely no use for him, if he disappeared tomorrow I would not miss him.



By contrast, the whole world, nay, the universe itself, waits with baited breath for your next fascinating interaction with your cat......

First of all it's not baited breath it's 'bated' breath, taken from the word abate. What would baited breath even mean, how would you bait your breath. Secondly, to which cat are you referring. I currently have 16 cats could be 17 pretty soon.

Maybe a non-suspended moderator should retire this thread. It started off with Bill extolling the virtues of lending a helping hand this holiday season, and the very next post was Gordon insulting Bill's human dignity and societal worth. Maybe time to shut it down?

Bait, as in fishbait, seemed more appropriate given the cat discussion.

That would work for me. Christmas has passed, and I dare not wish folks the best for the New Year.
