Can you elucidate?
(elucidate, mind you)

elucidation:
Dog-ear guilt (noun) a feeling of wrongdoing a poster by dog-earing a post they have made. See also dog-ear angst.
[more definition than elucidation]

See, I don't understand dog-earing. As far as I can tell its just a way of making sure you return to a convenient point in a long thread ratehr than seeing page 1 all the time.
How can you wrong-do by dog earing?
Can other people see where you've do-eared to? I have never seen where anyone else has dog-eared to?
Am I subnormal, different to other people? I feel like a freak. Maybe its my penchant for wearing a pencil skirt and mascara that unsettles me. Please help.- mascara + pencil skirt is normal, not feeling dog-ear guilt however makes you a cold heartless deviant bastart.emecks

The quandary stems not from others being able to see what you've done (this is a most presbyterian guilt) but much more from the fact that you will not see any notes posted on your peers comments.

I use it all the time. I have no guilt. Surely it's not as bad as when there was an ignore feature. I would feel guilty about using that.

Good lawd, this sort of guilt beggars belief Emecks. Are you a practising Jain Dharmist?

I think we should all get together in a community centre and make a dog-ear quilt for charity. We could get our picture in the local paper.

Jains are the people who wont walk anywhere because they might injur a little bug underground, and they breath softly through muslin so as not to inhale any poor air bound critters. In short, they made a religion out of worrying much too much about the feelings of other creatures, vegetables and inanimate objects.

Geez, if I worried as much as them I wouldn't fart for fear of shitting myself

i dogeared last response and now only see my post

Thanks spooky, you had me downright worried there. Nah Jainism is never for me, veal is my favourite meat.
On the other hand I can't pee on something that is dirty for fear of catching something coming "upstream" so there is some deep rooted feeling of connection probably - I'm a wreck.

Oh, By the way Emecks. There's a thread somewhere here, about 1400 posts long, and soemwhere in the 'early middle' section of the first round of posts you made an interesting post.
And I have just added a side note you might be interested in.
teeheehee.

* wonders what drgs might have seen that I might have missed, so also undog-ears, reads boring sidenotes, dog-ears again. Vows not to worry too much about drgs' gaining additional knowledge from past side-notes.
