That is probably the one!
To: Corin Stormhands
Um, that would be freshman. (I did proofread the paper...)
To: Corin Stormhands
I think your response was excellent. Especially this part? ;^)
There are people there that are much more knowledgeable about Tolkien than myself.
BTW, you have mail.

Yeah, that part. I'd put myself in the same category as you. (Caught your mail, thanks)
To: Corin Stormhands
You probably have to write it out by hand! - We didn't have typos back then.
I have old papers that were written longhand... I have really nice printing so I didn't type them. I hated typewriters, capable of ruining a whole page of work in the very last line.
To: HairOfTheDog
Thanks for the books HOTD. I posted them over at TNS. I pinged you as a courtesy, so you don't need to go over there if you don't want.

See... that stuff didn't happen then.
I have, just outside, walking on my window screen, the largest bee I have ever seen. Must be a queen, probably searching out new places to build her own empire. She is as big as a bird I tell you!
To: Corin Stormhands
I'm here too, but I'm distracted this afternoon...wonder why? ;-) Must be that thing that's going around. Affects only Tolkien fans.
To: ksen
Very good then! I haven't read either of them... only heard about them.
To: HairOfTheDog
You probably have to write it out by hand! - We didn't have typos back then. Actually I got a typewriter for my high school graduation. You know one with a carbon ribbon...
To: Overtaxed
Must be that thing that's going around. I'm sure that's it...
To: Corin Stormhands
Think I'll sneak out a few minutes early.
To: Corin Stormhands
...or should I sneak for the Semi Precious?
To: Overtaxed
I'm thinking the same. The boss may already be gone...have fun chatting...
To: Overtaxed
No I'll take care of that...
To: Corin Stormhands
And the many flailing arms flapping themselves against the paper. dreadful machines... Then the rolling ball typewriters were seen as so cool.... ahhh.. the old days.
To: HairOfTheDog
I was cutting edge with the IBM "Selectric"...
