ANNIVERSARY: 1. occurring annually at the same date. 2. of an anniversary n. 1. the yearly return of the monthly date of some event. 2. the celebration of this. BIRTHDAY: 1. the day of a person or THING'S beginning. 2. the ANNIVERSARY of this date. I am gonna argue that the second definition under 'anniversary' applies here. This is the yearly return of the monthly date of our first broadcast. Since we are an inanimate object I would argue that we were not born. So, we now celebrate the tenth anniversary of our first broadcast. Whatever, thanks for the good wishes! :-) td

LOL Blue, all warmed up after your hike? And Happy 10th AnniBirthary CNBC! Wish I'd seen it but I don't have cable. But it sounds to me like either the tv folks might have a browser problem, or Blue just busted 'em practicing some Word Spins as if "birthday" and other words were a basketball about to go into orbit on the tip of the index finger. Keeping a low profile while fine-tuning the way a different angle on a word like "anniversary" or "this" calls attention to making an Event a Non-Event or vice-versa isn't an easy job and wonder if it was noticed by others too. That list of WhiteHouse words is about due to get expanded anyway, all words should be examined for new twists about now. So Shakespaere once again spins in his coffin hearing some more practice for the coming week in the stocks by pushing The King's English To The Edge. To read Techride is to make good use of another opportunity to mark down viewer and non-viewer response percentages to a nicely done Very Next Phrase morph of Nixonese, Newspeak, and Doublespeak now known as BILLSPEAK. It's either that or there'll soon be a new long weekend holiday on a different date altogether known as Browser Day! In Honor of more doubleplusgood browserly improvements as Fit For Celebration ... TA-DA!... Just lately Netscape autoclicks its own browser to the MSN Investor site from the top of their own list of recommended links... and as of now once it gets there Bill isn't so puterly mean to both Navigator and also to his own customer's puter settings as he used to be when The Archenemy dared to put its browser on his desk! All In Fun Ted, Glad You're Not Mad At Techride.... Newfangled 99ers 909s To All Doubleplusgoods, Joan
