Actually I did think that I had made a mistake once - but later I realised that I had been wrong - isn't that strange?

PedanticBarSteward Posted Dec 10, 2005
Yes - I do know what I am trying to say - the question is, do you?

I think we have now established that we both know what we are talking about. Are you a member of the same Mutual Admiration Society, of which I am a long established member?
Questions only.
PedanticBarSteward Posted Dec 11, 2005
Would such a society countenance a membership application from one such as me? If they did - would I really want to belong to such a club?

PedanticBarSteward Posted Dec 12, 2005
If by 'mutual admiration' czardene means an association '(of two or more people or groups) feeling the same emotion, or doing the same thing to or for each other' (Cambridge on-line dictionary)and who respect and approve of each other - what form does the association take? Does it hold regular meetings? Is it set up under a charter? Where does it meet? Is alcohol banned at meetings? Are smokers permitted to join? Has the last one nullified my qualificatuins to be a member?

Why hasn't anyone answered any questions for over 24 hours? Is it Christmas already?
Questions only.
Dene - specialist in red herrings Posted Dec 13, 2005
Did you not know that it has been Christmas since September?
You asked many questions about the Mutual Admiration Society.
To get the answers to your questions you would have to become a member.
To become a member, at least 6 persons would be required to put your name before the committee. You would have to be approved for membership at a full meeting. only then would you get the answers to your questions. Do you know at least 6 members of the Society? Do you have at least 6 friends?

That would leave me out, I have no friends, and I don't even know anyone in the society. Would someone help, please?

PedanticBarSteward Posted Dec 14, 2005
Could you define a 'friend'? Have you ever been in a situation where everything has gone very wrong? If you have, didn't you find that real friends can be counted on the fingers of one had and still have some to spare? By definition, wouldn't people belonging to a mutual admiration society be the very sort people that one would not wish to be friendly with?

Answers to questions 1,2+3, yes. Answer to question 4, no.
Do you agree that, the fact that you could ask that last question, would definitely exclude you from being accepted to the society?
I am for Nick. But I am sure that he has many friends on these threads.

PedanticBarSteward Posted Dec 14, 2005
I would agree - but can you get six signed-up members of the aforementioned club confirm this?
Questions only.
Dene - specialist in red herrings Posted Dec 14, 2005
Do you really think that I would recommend them to do so?
Questions only.

1. No, sorry 2. The meaning of life is to exist. 3. If anyone takes a look it will be seen that I have no friends on hootoo, but I always will have my computer for company *hugs computer*. Anyway, that last post sounded suspiciously like a Non sequitur to me, are we going to have to start all over again?
Questions only.
PedanticBarSteward Posted Dec 15, 2005
If I look back at post 184, couldn't I assume that czardene doesn't actually know anyone in his mutual admiration society, other than himself? Is this what the society is all about? If it is, could I join, on the basis that I never want to know anything at all about the other members other than the fact that we share the same interests and values?
Questions only.

I can see the logic of your posting 197.
I did omit to type the words (branch of), as there are, many branches. Do you now understnd that it is a worldwide organisation?
Questions only.
PedanticBarSteward Posted Dec 15, 2005
Is it anything like the 'G Dubbya Shrub Wit & Wisdom Appreciation Society'?
