oh, i see. once i remind you of all the examples, the criticism becomes that i don't have _enough_ examples... or that i am not doing them _often_enough_ to suit you... or that the examples were "cute enough" in their day, but are now no longer "cute". ok, i can see where this goes. (nowhere.) i think i liked it better when i thought i didn't know what you were talking about. :+)

I once again ask if you actually intend the sending of your old iPhone.

i just re-confirmed that _this_week_, when i told you i would send it as soon as i have done the sync with all of our new devices... in my first attempt at that, a little bit of our data was lost, so i need to try to get it back. i can't guarantee a timeline, sorry, but it will be sent just as soon as i can send it. capiche?

If you want to deny having mentioned that I am not going to go back an quote you

why would i "deny" it? first, it would be kinda hard for me to do that, since i said it publicly on this list, _initially_ and again _this_week_... and furthermore, i still intend to give it to you. no matter how badly you are treating me now. the inventor of electronic-books should have an iphone. that's the least the world can do... (but you're right -- right now, i feel like doing the least that i can do, the very least i can do. but if i'm the only one who'll give you an old iphone, then i am happy to _be_ that person.)

Because they aren't really talking language that translates into real action.

yeah, ok, michael, whatever... have a nice day. -bowerbird p.s. coincidentally, thursday's version is up:
