FWIW, [Mr. C](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146903) makes a good point in the pit that we jargonize and babelfish our interrogetories so as to render them impossible to decipher for the non SDMB personages, and render us unto Master Debaters with our cloaked form and ciphered manner. AFAICT, this hardly ever happens, and when it does, it is _de minimus_ – YHO is? 😉 ---

IANAL, and YMMV, but AFAIK, IMHO this rarely happens. FWIW, I can’t go one day W/O seeing some sorta acronym and not be confused by it – and that’s just at work! Tripler “Um, hey Bill, what the hell is a TIA-396, and why is it still on DOS 2.06?” ---

Welcome back, **Ace**. It’s good to see you playing nicely with the other posters. Unless this is some sort of oblique jab at **Mr. Cynical** , in which case I will retract the “playing nice” part.

But what really is there to be said of “worth”, if we objectify the term and consider it outside of the subjective discourse within which it is so often cloaked? Is it even possible to arrive at that which could be considered by the average layman to be a quantitative measure that can be given to a concept which is so heavily enriched with relativistic meaning? Indeed, our individual values, as people of differing status; be it socio-economic, psycho-social, socio-political, or familial; will likely lead each of us, in turn, to arrive at independent, and quite distinct; definitions of the very term, and that being the case, it becomes a prospect fraught with complications to disentangle our identities from our identifications. ---

Unfortunately, we cannot possibly be sure that the religious ontological proof adheres enough to the fine Celtic tradition of welding wheat onto dough to make sandwiches. Without the Smoked Oysters, we may be forced to buy the argument anyway, though. For it seems that Fox is already reporting on the incident without consulting someone from Voltaire’s bloodline, who, of course, are the leading experts in making jellyfish talk, at least the jellyfish that live off the northern coast of California.
