[Dixielandjazz] Semantics (was: Ellington Worthless?)

[Daniel S. Augustine]

    Or, as Biff Rose (a folk-singer/comedian, if that is not too redundant) used to say:

"My use of words is just some antics."   -- or:

"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing."  
                        -- Kingsley Amis     -- or:

"Not everything that a man knoweth can be disclosed, nor can    
everything that he can disclose be regarded as timely, nor can 
every timely utterance be considered as suited to capacity of  
those who hear it."  -- Baha'u'llah        -- or:

or (peculiarly appropriate to some of our discussions on DJML):

"Forgive me my nonsense as I also forgive the nonsense of       
those who think they talk sense." -- Robert Frost

"It is not necessary to understand things in order to argue     
about them." --  Caron de Beaumarchais

"obfuscate with semantics?"

Well, it would seem posts have reached the point of innocuous desuetude.
Indeed, where is Herr Professor Gunter when we need him?
