Sorry, I was talking about/to Dr. Bob. It's why I didn't check the box to direct the post to anyone on the thread. But I shouldn't have assumed everyone would know that.
The meaning I had in mind was M-W's:
": marked by lack of steadfastness, constancy, or stability : given to erratic changeableness"
How Dr. Bob will leave a picture up for months on end, then that one with the red "logo" lasted maybe 24 hours - right after the other one of himself lasted - what? - a few days!! "Dr. Bob, make up your mind!"
I hope I wouldn't post a disrespectful remark toward another poster - at least not knowingly. (In Dr. Bob's case, I am pretty sure he'll know I am poking affectionate fun at him.) I'm glad you asked, and *I* didn't mind, but if I may put my 'deputy hat' on for a second, I have a bit of (unsolicited, I know) advice. It's probably better if you wonder if someone has directed a negative comment toward you to leave out any speculation about their negative intent - e.g., "it seems like a diss." Another poster might have reported that part to us through the Notification button as possibly uncivil (they could feel accused of dissing you) Everything else you wrote was great - the best thing that happens here is when posters have dialog to clear up misunderstandings. I just recommend you leave out parts like that as I do hate to see newer Babblers running smack into the civility rules!! Please take this in the way I intend - *only* to help in the future, NOT to criticize.
Well, I hope Dr. Bob doesn't change the pic again today or I may need a neck brace from him making my head spin! Lol. Of course, I am teasing him as it's his site and he may play around with it any way he likes :-)
