Precis: A concise or abridged statement. I enjoy the concise statements Aaron puts at the end of his messages. However I found his post starting this thread to be a little long winded (I'll resist the urge to quote him). So here is my attempt to precis what he said. If you're someone I don't know, Your opinions rank quite low, But if you're someone I admire, Your pithy words will rank much higher. Ted Thinking: Lloyd George knew my father.... Also thinking: James Fischer could use a little precis practise (and I could use a lot of poetry practise). ****************************************************** * Full guidelines for BEE-L posting are at: * * http://www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l/guidelines.htm * ******************************************************
