He wrote "Visne excipere quisquilias?" My Latin is pretty shaky, to say the
least. Two guesses:
(literal) "Neighborhood to exclude garbage?"
or maybe "Does this list exclude spam?"

Subject: [kl] latin saying

Some time ago someone on this list wrote "visne excipere quinquilias".
Neither me nor my son, who has a Masters degree in mathematics and physics,
plays recorder, euphonium and piano on near-professional level (final year
of conservatory) and reads Latin books like I read Dutch, English or
Italian, could figure what it means. Can the person who wrote this phrase
explain it?

TIA
