Esoterica is anything that the vast majority of folks are not interested
in.
That describes you and your posts perfectly.
You've taken a bit of literary license with the term esoterica which


generally is accepted to mean something which is intended for or
likely to be understood by an initiated minority or small number of
people with a specialized knowledge or interest. What I write seldom
falls into such a category. ...

What you write falls precisely into that category. Hells Bells, it is all
addressed to me and I am not even bothering to read it anymore. You cannot
get more esoteric than that!

The definition of the word simply does not fit. I write not just to

you regardless of how I have directed what I have written. What I
write is not intended for or likely to be understood by only a
minority or small number of people with specialized knowledge or
interest. Do you not comprehend what esoterica means or are you just
plain dumb? Never mind your posts are self-authenticating in that
regard. I have to agree with your first sentence that started this
thread ... I can't learn anything from Jim.

Esoterica must be considered within the confines of this newsgroup. In any
event, you are too hung up on dictionary definitions. Context is EVERYTHING!
What I say is hundred times better than what any dictionary says.
