I would like to propose a new topic of intelligent discussion.

And, perhaps a self-referential one,as well. How might we
better talk about intelligent discussion?  I certainly wish that
Miss Manner’s or even Abigail Van Buren had written a column
or two on the subject, as it might pertain to cyber-tubes-intar-webs
and ,more formally, computer mediated communication.

Also, if a communication gets mediated, is that like becoming
part of the media? or becoming more medium?  I think
that this forum could easily become a rare medium,that
is well done,if only more insightful and well meaning posts
were made about language, words, semantics, syntatics
and maybe even spelling. 


Hey, did anyone notice the new spelling check thing? 
Apparently wizards can now post and also get paid,
either that or Aaron & TOri are prevented from
playing logological ice hockey here,one of those. I’m sure.

Has anyone noticed the new forum?

dianevm, masquarading as her SO’s id, (hey, I don’t have
enough email addresses to register all these test ids with.

We had a few old topics going that seem to have disappeared.  What happened to “View Last 10 Posts”, the easy way to find them?

Is Newbie’s post a banter-banner, or merely overcooked ?

As to said philosophical relationship between free-lance operator & concerned medium, does taking part not make us one integral part of it?  Ultimately, we could also be legalistically speaking of intellectual property: Our explicit submissions here & there must consequently become the inherent responsibility of whatever electronic host or presiding webmaster—in other words, neither shocking discovery nor important revelation can really be of singular authorship and either one would eventually fall under some mutual purvey regarding its final destination memento mori namely its true worth.

From the conversion,I found 22 posts, which ended up not being converted,
however, we have about 70 thousand or so,that were,so
I was thinking the ratio was good,no?

additionally, I was hoping they might be resurrected easily by our
vast an unpaid research department?

use of modern technology might make it seem new but the basic tech has been around for ages.

A little "standing on the shoulders" is more the thought here.

Plagiarism is good, but would only apply if the credit was taken knowing of the earlier discovery, which is not the premise of this discussion.  The Nobel Committee probably has a word for it - claims of origin for nearly all good inventions seem to be questionable,  Alexander Graham Bell being the most recent to be unfrocked.

Probably not.  A Bandito works the opposite to a placebo, the irritation factor being more like an allergy test than a study in HIV resistance.

Nor could you be a maraviroc, it’s far too well tolerated.  Does that make you a Maverick Placebo ???

Such free dictionary exchange would also seem to favor the grammatical & lexicographical subject area but I say go on and take your very best shot, Kemosabe!

Now to begin more properly with your original Cyrillic expression:

A.  Привет всем! Я тут новенький и новенький в инете! Вот нашёл форум по всей теме! Расскажите, что к чему тут, пожалуйста!

which on the one hand admits interlinear ALA-LC Romanization plus significant accents:

B.  Privét vsém!  ͡Ia tut nóven′kiǐ i nóven′kiǐ v inete!  Vot nashël fórum po vséǐ téme!  Rasskazhíte, chto k chemú tut, pozhaluǐsta!

followed on the other hand by a somewhat different English version in bright, cheerful language:

C.  “Hello to all!  I am brand new here and brand new on the internet!  Here I found the forum on every subject!  Tell me, what’s what here, please!”

instrumentum memorandum

1.  привет всем = privét customary Russian greeting “hello” and plural dative case vsém “to all”

2.  я тут новенький = ͡ia tut nóven′kiǐ with zero copula “I (am) brand new here”

3.  в инете = v inete with zero article “on (the) internet”

4.  нашёл = nashël masculine singular past tense meaning “I found” in spoken English cf. ex lingua dictionary keyword entry найти naǐtí “to find”

5.  форум = fórum also with zero article “(the) forum” cf. ex lingua original Latin antecedent forum “town square”

6.  расскажите = rasskazhíte plural imperative “tell (me)” with optional pronoun cf. ex lingua dictionary keyword entry рассказать rasskazát′ “to tell”

7.  что к чему = chto k chemú Russian equivalent of very familiar idiom “what’s what”

8.  пожалуйста = pozhaluǐsta courteous & polite interjection “please”
