- This is my point entirely. She didn't "blithly continue to post peeves"
- she *blindly* continued to post peeves. She was completely ignorant of the
- abuse heaped upon her and either couldn't or wouldn't see that her peeves
- (at least initially) were gratuitous and unsubstantial. dan quayl seems
- also to "blithely" continue on doing,,,whatever it is he is doing, without
- a clue as to the damage his presence incurs upon the republican party. Not
- that I don't cheer the decision to keep him around. Herein lies one crucial
- parallel. In any case my original statement was an afterthought that stood
- on its own,independent of the post. It was my gratuitous observation that
- you can either agree or disagree with. As for jenni, yes she has wrought
- her own particular nitch (sp) amongst the landscape and offers a certain style
- and wit that adds to this broad, learned, and eclectic topography we call
- peevetown.

- I will afford you the benefit of the doubt on this one as more respected
- peevers than thou were a might confused by this interogative. This statement
- was meant to emulate the ingenuous and puppy dog need to belong style of the
- original poster. I have been around here long enough to know not to ask a
- question like that in earnest.
