The Researcher formally known as Dr St Justin

Hi there Nylarthotep!

I've been given your entry to Sub - my copy is at A882353. I've made a start on it, but there are a few things I'd like your input on. There are some very long sentences, which I'm struggling to break up, without losing your style. Could you take a look at them?

In both F103559?thread=224219&latest=1 and the PR thread (F103559?thread=223296&skip=0&show=40), people have been asking for some of Ralph's wisdom to be explained. If you could write a line or two about each 'Ralphism' that would be great - it would also help the visual layout of the entry.

smiley - cheers

How do you want me to insert the explanations? I could stick them in my own copy and tell you when they're ready?

Ummm... it's probably easier if you post them here, and tell me what goes where. That way, I'm not having to guess what's changed...

Well, nothing chnages apart from the little sentance that now follows the individual quotes.

Done a few of them, but no time to copy them down here as of yet I'm afraid.
