Well, your point wasn't very clear, obviously. "Just finished a book
about it. If you're a parent and aren't up to speed on it, please,
please, get up to speed on it. And then talk to your kids about the
risk, because it's immense."

Seems pretty clear to me. Obviously.

Were you trying to tell us all about the risk or just writing about
the fact you'd finished a book?

<slowly>

"Just finished a book about it" tells us that Miz PJ spent a lot of time
researchin' this subject, towse.

Oooh, snotty! My post, Sal, was directed at parents. Get up to speed on
HPV if you're not already. Then talk to your kids. How much clearer
could I possibly be? Only a knob-head wouldn't get it.

Ah, but PJ. You're putting out useful information in the followups
defending your original post. Your original post was vague to the max.

Only a knob-head wouldn't get it.

Golly, towse, how many more people have to post that what Miz PJ wrote was
clear to them before you stop desperately hoping that just because you keep
saying that her writing was "vague" that it's gonna make it so? I will never
understand why you act as if you think your word carries special sway here. I
mean, it's most amusin', but *gawd*! We can read what Miz PJ wrote, we are not
depending on your interpretation of what is patently clear.

And, we MIGS know that Miz PJ wouldn't post something like "If you're a parent
and aren't up to speed on it, please, please, get up to speed on it. And then
talk to your kids about the risk" *just* so she could slip in the fact that
she wrote another book. It's ridiculous to suggest that she did so.

Writing books is her bidness and she is successful at it, she's had over 40
published. If she simply wanted to share her excitement in having having
another book out, she'd say so directly as she has in the past. And, we'd <hop
about> and say:

"Congrats, Miz PJ!"

Your suggestion was petty. So, what's with this drive of yours of slipping in
baseless slaps at Miz PJ's writing?
