troglodytes

[John M. Formsma]

Avery,

 

It's just a nice way of calling someone as a cave man, and it's usually
meant in a joking manner. I personally thought it was fairly funny, and if
the shoe fits me, well.oh, troglodytes don't wear shoes - sorry, I forgot.
Anyway, maybe it's referring to most of us on the list being meat-eaters.
Since the Thump is a vegetarian, that seems most likely to me. 

 

After all the ribbing some of us have dished out to the Thumper, I'm willing
to take a bit of the same. Maybe we troggies are thicker-skinned, though.
Uhh-uggh..  ;-)

David, 

I could very well be wrong, of course. Lord knows I have been before! 
But I still take offense at him calling ANYONE on this list a troglodyte! 
JMO. Sorry.

Avery,

In my opinion, you are showing a quote out of context.  The full text was:

"I appreciate the info, and it will hopefully convince
some of the troglodytes on this list that mouse
excrement IS a serious problem! But I'm not so sure
about the chlorine, due to rust problems. Industrial
strength Hydogen Peroxide might be better. ( From ag
store, as recommended here previously. )"

I see nothing wrong with Thumps post...?  Why are you so insulted?   

I think most of us take Thump with a grain of salt...the guys a screaming
germ-a-phobe.  
Possibly his customers think he's a little too strange and that's why he
can't 
make a living in this work?????...thus afford to go to conventions...
