Aaargghh! I did it again! When I typed "Rah, rah, RAH!" I was actually quoting the title of an article that Spider Robinson wrote about Robert A. Heinlein.
And when I wrote "Aaargghh!" I was quoting Charles Schulz.
But when I wrote "I did it again!" I was most emphatically not quoting Britney Spears! :D

I loved Heinlein when I was a little hippie in the '70's, especially Stranger in a Strange Land and Time Enough for Love, but I've been going off him ever since. He got seriously weird about incest in his later books and it creeped me out so much I can only read his earlier stuff now. Feminism helped turn me off his theme of old balding hook-nosed blokes who got all the nookie, as well.

Well said Witch!

I'm amazed by the variety of the people here and also, I have to say, by the generally high levels of educational achievement. I knew the discussions here were on a different plane, people can write, spell and comprehend for a start, but I'm totally blown away now. :o
Definitely. For me, this is an online community of my intellectual peers, something which I cherish in both the real and online worlds. Age, education, whatever. I just like talking with people who think.
Got to agree with both of you. This is what keeps me coming back here, and avoiding the "official" site. Too many airheads who don't understand the meaning of spellcheck, let alone have the ability to put together a comprehensible sentence!
However, I did have to look up obsteperous. Good word, I had to pass that one along to a co-worker who is in love with words and is always looking for a new one to use on those who don't have the ambition to learn. I'll have to see if he actually looked it up!

I run the technical department of a large IT company, my major studies at university were in business management and accounting, though I have lots of practical experience with personal computers. I was also very good at maths at school and university. So that means that I shouldn't really like the Sims.
I don't think its fair to put people in boxes unless
a) they fit and
b) you plan to torture them at some later stage.
