    Yes, I realize this little walkabout thread has been off topic for this
    list, but it certainly started on topic - with suggestions and humor
    injections about list stuff. It had been a while since I explored what the
    web had to offer for dictionaries. The ease of finding these obscure words
    has astounded me - as has the wealth of information available. I'm already
    planning for how to make some of these resources available for my student
    writers, preparing myself for the inevitable silly debate over word
    processors on the DWA :) So, a personal thanks, and I do think it's time
    to move on. - Mark
