 Should I be embarrassed because I am not embarrassed by going of at a tangent?  I get annoyed when I go  widely OFF TOPIC - especially if it is because I have let someone wind me up, but I have no shame regarding Tolkien related flights of fancy eg "Did Bill Ferny die?" and the  digressions on Isildur's hair/Hare.. sometimes you come across these quirky little threads that need to be a chance to stretch their wings .... and I think it is a shame we have had our wrist slapped for taking our designations too literally in "Reputations".   While, I know I err on the side of froth and bubble, and feel I should make more effort with the serious stuff,  ~ I would not come so much, if at all if it were all deadly serious.  And with that I am off to change my sig.
