Bible Note: __"read and reread what you said to insure that what you said is what you meant to say"__ Sagacious advice, EdB! ....... Kalos has repeatedly pointed out that a post can be judged soley by what it says, not by what its author may have meant it to say. ...... And Morant61 (Tim Moran) has said that he has composed posts and destroyed them without posting them, because they did not convey his ideas in the way he wanted to convey them. ....... Abraham Lincoln is said to have written bitter letters to his critics and torn them up without mailing them. ...... Omar Khayyam wrote in his "Rubaiyat": "The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, moves on: nor all your piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out a word of it." ....... The Lockman Foundation has posted as part of its guidelines the following statement to which everone who posts to this Forum must attest his agreement before he can enter his post: "I have carefully proofread my post and believe it represents my best efforts." [How many times do we say we have proofread our posts without having done so?] ....... Finally, the solemn words of our Lord Jesus: "For by thy WORDS thou shalt be justified, and by thy WORDS thou shalt be condemned" (Matthew 12:37). --Hank |
