Well, if I'm the Scapeowl of IWT, then so be it.... if you all need one and I fit the bill, who am I to tell you to stop. Just as long as we all know what's really happening, and be honest about it, that owl-persecution has become a favorite hobby of some of you.Get over yourself, sweetheart. No one here feels he's "persecuting" you, and the needling of which you complain does not rise to the level of a hobby, much less a "favorite hobby" for anyone.
You got your answers early on, and from two or three sources. You received some sensible tips on internet search strategies. Choosing my own words carefully I expressed anew my astonishment, the phenomenon having been brought anew to my attention, that a woman in this society could reach her mid-forties without having previously grasped the term "industrial revolution," and were it not for the better angels of my nature I might have permitted myself to express that thought far more trenchantly instead of augmenting Scott's helpful suggestions with a few of my own.
That you did not run with the answers and conduct your search accordingly instead of lingering here to be "persecuted" and "condemned" (in a thread that's since branched into other, non-owlocentric areas of inquiry—ah, perhaps that's the problem?) suggests to some onlookers that your deadline may not have been as urgent as all that.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go break my nephew's arm.
cordially,
