the best thing about being a writer -- part XXXVII
$Zero
it's thinking ahead.
for instance, it's having the foresight to know that you'll soon need
to write "part 40" in Roman Numerals and realizing that you're not
quite sure you remember how to do that.
XL, maybe?
something like that, i'm pretty sure.
if so, would that make 39 be IXL?
anyway, thank God for things like wikipedia and dictionary.com, i
guess.
and the stray sets of encyclopedias and other reference books i've
accumulated over the years.
although, one does to prefer to rely on a solid memory for these kinds
of things.
but that's just way too much to ask for anymore.

Zero,
Are those links supposed to go somewhere new? They take me to the same
thread/posts...?
I guess I'll just stop clicking on your links...?

Duh. He links to the thread we're in. His own posts which we just
read, often. The man is a dingbat. Sorry to be so blunt, but WTF would
you click on his links in the first place?
