<p>Perhaps there is more "blag" than "slag" in this forum?</p>

Mind you, in Australia, I don't think it necessarily means behind your
back, it can be in front of you too. Essentially a synonym for "bad
mouthing".

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi, Russ,
I don't know what slagging-off means but it doesn't sound good. It's
probably true that the average age of FRIAM members is way north of sixty,
but we do have some young pups, for which I am profoundly grateful. Some of
the younger ones, I think, code and write to FRIAM at the same time, using
two keyboards and two hands, while reading posts on obscure bulletin boards
on a third screen.
Never a dull moment on FRAIM.
In short, we'll take you when we can get you.

I would partake, if I weren't in a pertual state of crunch.

As evidenced that I'm only now reading a post that is almost a month old.
Maybe in a year or so, things will calm down :)
PS - I got slagged off a few years ago for insinuating that only old folks
(ie retired) and the unemployed have the time to keep up with these very
interesting conversations.

Some of us bloviators have suddenly woken to the realization that we
have no idea what you are thinking or what topics require discussion
in a forum vaguely related to complexity. I for one, am curious.
Hallooooooo! Anybody out there?
