You guys are probably all too well read to get caught out, but NPR were pretty unthinking with some of their descriptions w.r.t. spoilers. I'm reading The Book of the New Sun for the first time at the moment and, 150pages into the Shadow of the Torturer, was mighty pissed to read the following descr...

They're great, aren't they; yet sooo costly. One'd think the hardware industry would've so far invented inexpensive implements that won't turn one's shoulders to stone for your basic cursor directing and a few clicks. But apparently not. I know, sucks eh. They are expensive but I can recommend doin...

Don't try catch up. You'll never catch up. Just start posting.

Aw.... but I've only got 825,752 posts to go.

Hi Avatar, thanks for the welcome. I'll move off this rock real soon and see you out there!

Thanks lucimay! I'm glad to be aboard the Good Ship Loonybin. Unfortunately I think I'll fit in here. I say unfortunately because, going by my explorations thus far, I foresee an inverse relationship between SdS's RL productivity and KW presence! P.S. I'd love the keyboard too if it was just a perty...

I would love to be as artistically talented as yourself, but alas the shiny one is for video editing and general office use.
(Evil mouses make for killer RSI in my line of work.)
Love my Wacom and love what you do with yours!

Hello sgt.null. LOVE those pics (and narrative) Sorus, but re: the question of setting boundaries, it's already too late.

Hello Sorus! And hello from Sharkie, the polite feline. Glad you have a trigger-happy cat too, more than one by the sounds of it. I have a couple and have decided they may come in handy to blame for any typos, spelling mistakes or ill-thought-out opinions later regretted. Perhaps you could try this ...

Hello and thank-you Savor Dam.

As an Australian of the early 70's, I was unfamiliar with the original use of SDS, but I am glad it wasn't a Young Liberal organisation.
(Before you misinterpret me, our Liberals are your Republicans! Well, they're not THAT bad, but they are conservative.)

Thank-you Ananda. I'm not sure who the recipient of my accidental gratitude was but I am looking forward to knowing you folk well enough to get any inside 'advanced-spambot' jokes! Thank-you sindatur. Hello Zorm & wayfriend. Delighted to see so much Shaun-creator love. Here is the Wanton Thanker...

You know when you go hiking, how it's a good idea to leave a Trip Intention Form at the Park Rangers Office so Search & Rescue know where to look if you get eaten by a bear? Well, similar logic has convinced me to make an appearance in this official place of introductions. I arrived at the Watch...
