Hey honey. Your name suits you:-P Still no photos :-( Would you do me a favour and have a look at this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F67839?thread=126103&post=1136157#p1136157 I strongly suspect the "author" did not write this prose, yet he is claiming it as his. Let me know what you think. It's only a journal entry, but still. Not nice. He is getting a lot of praise for it & the piece did move me, but having read his posts since, Not the same style, methinks. Thanks,

Sorry I've been so quiet the last couple of days. Still trying to get to grips with these shifts, etc. No time to mail, as I have said elsewhere today.
Will check the link out later, if that's ok. My views as and when smiley - winkeye

Wasn't online yesterday, so much to catch up on. *sigh*
Feel free to email anytime, you know I will answer all eventually smiley - winkeye

Haven't opened my email yet, I had a backlog of 200+ when I returned from London & by the time I started on them there was another day's worth on top.
I'm glad the angels yahoo group is quiet atm, I couldn't cope if there was an emergency there like there was with the ACEs yesterdaysmiley - sadface
What a shame that all blew up with Arpeggio.
You didn't have much contact with her, did you?
Are you subscribed to the ACE forum?

smiley - sadface Shame.
Does Pastey have a link up?
Yes subscribe to ACE digest, but by the time I get it, it is normally too late to reply to anything. No, the whole Arpeggio thing started and was well under way while I was on holiday. SO by the time I got back, the backlog was too horrendous to even contemplate trying to catch up. That happens sometimes.
Email, when you have time, I have plenty to wait.

How does he attract your attention then?

By the way I read that journal entry.
To my mind, it reads straight out of a book. (perhaps a teenagers book) but then perhaps this is something they wrote a while ago, and decided to post it on h2g2? Difficult to tell. Not what I would call 'awe inspiring' literature, but that's just my opinion. I read way too much and am biased. it does remind me of something, but I cannot quite put my finger on it.
I'll have a think and get back to you on it.
Wish I had a webpage I could look up literary quotes on to see if it is ripped off.

I have a feeling it was out of a magazine - I certainly have read something like it.
And I get the distinct impression that the researcher is not the age of the writer who wrote the piece.
You can tell from his posts afterwords, that it is not the same style.
Does plagurism {sp!} count though, when it's just a journal?
Peta told me last weekend that there is a place they check - for rip-offs.
I must find out & check.
Hate things like that.smiley - sadface

How does the postman attract my attention?

Ooh let me know what you find out, please.
As i said, there is something not quite right, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

So the postman. Did he manage to attract your attention today then?
Or are we still waiting for Wednesday?
