Re: A curious mind wants to know.

BTW, the original LOL came from Herb Caen (look him up) he referred to his columns--LOL is "little old lady".

I did look him up. And down. I saw him walking down the sidewalk on Market Street one evening many years ago. Neatly dressed in a brown suit & he had a smile on his face. I read his column with great pleasure & liked his writing style & humor so much I read all of his books (about 5 or 6), too. He really was Mr. San Francisco. (3 book titles I remember: Don't Call It Frisco; San Francisco, Say It Isn't So; Baghdad by the Bay. The rest I've forgotten.) His equivalent in Chicago was Mike Royko, & here in Chapel Hill it was a dwarf named Billy Arthur, who ran a hobby shop. All 3 were engaging columnists, now departed. ---Will

"... sometimes these threads go on for weeks or even months."
And then there's this thread, lasting from the previous decade into this one & running on-&-off for about two & a half years. Aside from desultory diversions into discussions about 42 & bird flight & some poorly-considered attempts at humor (Canadian: "humour"), I'll repeat my appreciation for the valuable information given here in response to my questions. That's TBN. Some hits. Some misses. Some
