Leo, if you are much into reading look into the Fred
Saberhagen books starting with the Berserker title. i've
always really enjoyed reading them. there's a bunch. i
always read an author in order of publication date just
because i like to see how their writing changes.

if you are a reading in general and also like Fantasy i
recommend anything by Guy Gavriel Kay.

Niven and Pournelle wrote some fantastic novels in their Known Space
series ... I've gotta get some book cases built so i can organize my
collection , I know I have several of Saberhagen's works ...

i'm not that puffed up and self-important enough to care.

if i'm writing formally i use I. don't do much of that these
days, but i did write a letter to the EPA a few days ago
which included capital letters - i felt very grown up and should
have worn a bow tie when writing it.

Your posts that are a wall of text are a PIA, too. Probably more so
than songbird's lowercase i's.

Yes, not to mention the racist, homophobe and obscene content of
Sheldon's posts. I prefer small i's.

Actually you're a moron. You've not posted an on topic yet.
Actually no one knows who you are, Newbie. I'm positive that you're a
masturbating faggot.

That's a matter of perception.

>You've not posted an on topic yet.

Actually, people keep telling me that I post too much about
ingredients.
