Thank you. Very sincerely, the fact that anyone commented is refreshing about humanity, and enjoyable.

I agree, I have many flaws.

I write a lot and have written for years. Please note writing in a sense is therapy for me, but very few people read my stuff. This is do to mostly aziness on my part, but also, in large way, everything I write is ‘mine’ and is has a diary/journal feel to it for me, even though I know is not. Reading is my most favorite activity, followed by writing.

I got into facebook, twitter, and writing contests for fun.

I am boycotting face-book. I do not like them, enough said.
IMHO Zuckerburg is vastly over-rated.

Twitter is simple fun to see what you can do with 140 characters.

The writing contests obviously take more thought, but I like the ‘short’ ones, because again it is like trying to pack ‘valuable stuff’ in a small area.

In defense of accepted writing methods and techniques, they are important and should never be forgotten. And I really do
appreciate the comments. As I get older and use computer and the Web, I find myself forgetting and/or allowing bad habits to creep in. On that note, I cannot say how many times I have read my older stuff, and find where ‘may’ is there in place of ‘my’ and many other dumb things like that.

The minds sees what it sees and not what the computer sees,
wysiwyg, I guess I don’t see so well.

However, I feel today’s atmosphere of ‘short’ posts; (face book), blogging, and twitter have allowed for experimentation in the way we say things, however this has hidden dangers of which to me sophistry is the worst.

Oh man, even this thank you turned into a ramble......
