Dr. Hsiung,
I am requesting that you give a determination as to if the following is acceptable or not in relation to the guidlines of the forum.
The poster writes, [...You either address what I post or forget it...].
I had requested from the poster to clarify what she meant by a statement by her in a previous post in the thread that wrote,[...It's time this board was used for something other than this nonsense...].
I did not see a clarification from the poster that I had requested so I do not know what the "nonsense" is that the poster was referring to and thearfore I felt that I could not give a reply in the way that I would want to, to her without me knowing what the "nonsense" was that she was referring to.
The statement in question, [...You either address what I post or forget it...] is what I am asking you to write as if it is acceptable here to write that in the context of the discussion.

yoshimi,
I am not familiar with the expression that you used in your subject line. Could you clarify more as to what it means?
Thanks,
Lou

doubleplus- - A Prefix used to create the superlative form of an adjective or adverb. (i.e. - pluscold and doublepluscold meant, respectively, 'very cold' and 'superlatively cold'.
"If you want a stronger version of "good", what sense is there in having a whole string of vague useless words like "excellent" and "splendid" and all the rest of them? "Plusgood" covers the meaning, or "doubleplusgood" if you want something stronger still. "But it doesn't reallly matter Lou. And I apologize for posting it. Because I wont be around to clarify my reasons for being compelled to do that.

yoshimi,
Thank you for explaining that to me,I see what you mean now. But I do not know if it means that what was written to me is {dbl+good} or if it mean that what I wrote was {dbl+good}. Time will be the judge.
Best regards,
Lou
