[QUOTE=GuyNblueJeans] [QUOTE=SiXSwordS] Although **GuyNblue Jeans** interrupted my complimentary post about **norinew** (it ran to two paragraphs!) [/quote] Huh? šŸ˜• No I didnā€™t. :dubious: [/QUOTE] [sup]edited to add end quote. Iā€™ll sign up for ocd treatment tomorrow. [/sup] Yes, you did. Though Iā€™m sure you didnā€™t feel a thing. I wrote the post, hit preview and found that you had posted while I was still deciding if ā€˜peerless inner beautyā€™ and ā€˜dulcet yet pleasantly striking idiomā€™ were, perhaps, a little over-the-top. Sorry, **norinew** , I lost the text. But, as the kids say, you, like, totally rock! (I also think of your name as nori-newā€¦ what should I be thinking?) Now for **Elendilā€™s Heir** : I like your way with words and your presence. While I recognize your user name from its originality, I also recognize it from the insightful comments I associate with it. ---

> [@SixSwordS](#): > > (I also think of your name as nori-newā€¦ what should I be thinking?) Yā€™know, many years ago when we got our first internet account, my very first email address was first name (Norine) last initial (W) @ whatever isp. net. From that point on, norinew became my standard username. Not very imaginative, huh? šŸ˜‰ This is actually the first messageboard I ever joined, and it never even occurred to me people would read it as nori-new until some of them started just calling me ā€œnoriā€. Iā€™ve thought about changing it, but, Iā€™ve been around for a long time, and I donā€™t have anything really clever to change it to anyway. Hijack over. ---

Norine has written some of the most readable highjacks I have had the pleasure of poring over. šŸ˜‰ ---

**Ellen Cherry** ā€™s location field caused me to learn something new today. I also sense they are a generally happy person, in reading their posts. ---

**SixSwords** has an interesting signature, and is winsome, even while petulant. ETA: **alice\_in\_wonderland** often posts thoughtful replies to people who are hurt and in need of kind thoughts. ---

No, hehā€¦ I _think_ you are female, but donā€™t want to go by that assumption and be incorrect. (Almost certain, but second guessed myself at the last moment, in fact.) Iā€™m somewhat addlepated today, Iā€™m thawing, bit by bit from the numbness in March. ---
