European Salon de News, Discussion et Klatsch – 4. April | 70 comments (70 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

I'm using one particular post to make a general statement about excessive comments. Humour is fine...if it's funny and identifiable. Reread the initial post pretending to be your stepmother coming here for the first time : you'll understand why I don't recommend reading this blog (and others), as widely as I might, in spite of it's qualities.

Re: fair enough (none / 1)

Guillaume, what follows is spoken in jest:

I have no intention of trying to get my mother-in-law* to come here. Really.

* I take it that's what you meant by stepmother (both being translatable by belle-mère in French).

Re: fair enough (none / 1)

I see your point, but disagree with the premise. I'm not sure if ET should be seeking readership amongst those too dim to 'get it'. There might well be a quantity/quality trade off somewhere.
