(And as for Crichton, well, it's not that wasted...  )
Well, may your death here be fruitful for both you and us...
(Oh, just one thing, I only hope you are not our well-known, already existing 'Downer davem posting under a different username. Because, you see, this usage of "&"s was something I have always considered his signature move [although he is doing it in a much larger scale... sorry, davem  ].) |
Granted, not all Crichton is waste(particularly
Travels), but the ending of Sphere...what utter trash. I think it was Timeline where I finally got tired of his formulaic prose.
As far as your concern of my possible posing, I suppose only time will tell, although I don't know how much posting I will be doing since I have much to absorb before I can add much value to the community. Perhaps Davem is/was posing as
me.
And the use of the ampersand, tis merely a habit (nice attention to detail, however). Will it bother you or others here, since there are bound to be grammatists & lovers of fluid & properly written prose here? (not that there's anything wrong w/that)
Oh, & thank you & Skip for the kind welcome.
Since I have just become deceased, where is the store of treasure & weapons I can plunder? Currently my sword is broken & in need of reforging...
