That is the best way to regard it. I just don't like to feel that I am in the middle of a crisis. Anyway, my son has been begging for computer time, and I have a few things to look after. I may return later, hard to say. See you!

"No need to revisit. And its really not all that important in the scheme of things."

It is important. When you call upon someone for a second time, is “revisit” a proper description of the activity. We don’t say recall when we call some one who we talked to on the phone previously. That would mean we are taking something back, or remembering a past conversation. We don’t say restop when we stop at someone’s house that we stopped at the day before. If we revisit do we still qualify as a guest? If so, we could visit someone, sleep over, leave for a few hours, and return as a revisitor. You could potentially keep this up without end. In some cultures that would entitle you to being served according to the “fatted calf” level of hospitality on a daily basis for life.
