Yes, I realize, that could be either a verb or an adjective, and it's pronounced very differently depending on which it is, and so without me getting more specific, you don't even know how to pronounce the post title in your mind as you read it, but you know what? I'm not going to get any further into it.
I just won't.

Cool, a post with “elaborate” in the title that then refuses to supply further details.
That’s, like, an elaborate ruse.
Only without the elaboration.
Nice.
Hehehe!
Trust you to lay my machinations bare, Mel.
Hey. WHERE on earth is your BLOG, young lady? I keep clicking on that cool hat of yours expecting to see the way to a blog pop up.
No dice so far.
You know though, I have a suspicion you're doing the same thing I did: when I first started this thing up, I kept it private until I'd built up a respectable backlog of posts.
Don't keep us in suspense too long, Mel. You can't take your readership for granted. Your prospective readership.
You are certainly capable of understatement!
That's true, I am...but I should probably try a little harder to work the understatement into more posts. A lot of them get away from me, before I can think to put some understatement in there.
And it's not the kind of think you can just ladle on after. Doesn't help, by that point!
Re: your bare machinations, well, I can’t let smartassery go uncomplimented can I !
As to a Dodgy Blog, (man, I just said blodgy dog in my head!) I think not. First, my fragile ego couldn’t take the readership ticker hovering on zero, or the inevitable criticisms when they stumbled onto it ( I mean, I know I suck, but I don’t need other chumps confirming this), plus I’m too lazy, plus I can’t be assed thinking of other reasons not too. A haiku face-off with you I can struggle along with, trying to emulate your blog prowess I couldn’t do. And I would try to emulate, I am an emulater.
PS. Stop clicking on my hat, it hurts!
'blodgy dog' gives you a backup in case 'dodgy blog' is taken!
Huh. I guess all those reasons are good ones. I don't know. I mean, if I were blogging for others, my blog would have 10 posts on it and they'd all suck. What would be the point? I don't have anything to say to others.
I'm attempting to speak directly to posterity. Of course, it's awesome I seem to have gotten a few wonderful folks caught in the line of my fire! I love that! I'm grateful. Blessed. But like I said, if I was doing it for the readership...I'd have 10 posts, all would suck.
One's readership is ultimately, collateral damage in one's attempt to engage the eternal and universal.
