I didn't see zzzynik's post, but he or she may have picked up the idea from a song "Strange Fruit" by Billy Holiday from 1939. However, to take that as the only meaning of "low hanging fruit" is ridiculous. Certainly the accusation was uncalled for and inappropriate on their part.

KT, Bill and Aubrey - I just discovered that zzz's comments were deleted from the topic! Admin must have done that. Awesome

CLEVER! It made my day. I learned to type on a newer model of the manual typewriter on the left.

It seems to take a lot to merit removal of a post from this forum, for better or worse, but if any one post qualified for removal, this one did.

Unfortunately, they live on in your quoted reply. You can edit the quoted part to remove the insulting comment.

You only have an hour after posting to edit comments. Bill_de also quoted the original entry by zzz.

KTJohnson didn't even see the original comments, yet he quoted my own entry regarding. I'm just pleased to know that there is occasionally a line Admin isn't willing to see crossed. To ask that follow-up comments be edited or removed (after the option isn't available to the one who wrote) is unrealistic IMO.

Not sure how this went south. Thought we were talking idioms and cliches.

If you are interested in hanging fruit, check Billy Holiday and Strange Fruit.
