(Kelt, you are clarifying/being defensive here... *very playful cheek*)

Yes. It was to Clarify. But I will clarify the minutia uses of a peanut given half a chance. I like discourse.

Now I'm clarifying about my clarifying.

I'm used to forums where the is page after page of clarification and deeper and deeper discourse. Personally, I don't see this as defensiveness. I think it's a great attribute and something I look for in a partner - the ability to discuss, argue, debate and dismantle for hours on end. I find it pleasurable and fun

And yes, to many people it's a no touch topic.

Me being a wordy bitch I personally think it's a great subject.

Touché <<<

Perhaps I should have made myself more clear.....

But you know the rest.
