*I* was grossly misquoted as saying: >> - since i put Bosch triple-prong plugs (into my 88 vanagon), my >>anal-retentive recordkeeping :) then Dan "Obesely Compulsive" snorted: >i thought this list determined that "Obsessive/Compulsive" was the >correct diagnosis? Which is it? I mean, we can't be using the >incorrect term when the correct term is available, can we? That's >what's wrong with society nowadays, we settle for the mediocre and >'pretty good'. Where has exactness gone? Orderliness? Linear >concrete thinking? I mean I'm not being obsessive about this am I? >Or is it compulsive? :) well, *I* always thought "anal retentive" meant "an asshole that keeps everything". sort of a packrat with an attitude. while an "obsessive/compulsive" is just one of those really pushy people who are always in your face about everything ... sort of like your brother- in-law, after about six beers. i think i was more right. :) ask Tobin and Christa where i keep my oil filters. :) joel
