But we know what we're talking about.

Well, one of us does, but it's probably not I.
It's really hard for me when the discussion turns to wordnits, because I get LOST.
Do you have any idea how many pages I write and delete? I write stories, histories, wild theories, anecdotes, and then I think- what was this supposed to be about? And I can't remember so I delete it.
You know how you can show a baby a toy and he gets all excited and grabs it. He puts it in his mouth! He sucks at it! He squeezes it! And then he drops it. For a minute you can see the loss- see him think, oh no! I had something so much fun here in my hand and it's gone... and....
now I can't remember what it was.
