> Today, being the 25th day of December, is the birthday of ppint.,
> Village Bookseller.
- so; and is half a gross better, or lesser, than the full-on 144 ?
- googlegroups is abandoning usenet on/from 22/2/2024, after which
yr hmbl srppnt. will presumably lose access to abt-h & the village;
so i'll bid you all ''here'' remaining an anticipatory farewell now, since
i may forget to later - i'm still ppint.pinto on farcebook, and (albeit
mostly in theory) feetnotes on once-livejournal; are you elsewhere?°
- happy 2024, and hoping your thatch/tiles/slates survive this storm,
- love, ppint.
° - finally made it back to discworld conventionland & eastercon
last year & the year before last retrorespectawigglilly; minnow was
a very welcome re-contact, at the one, and various afpers likewise
