I am always in need for more readers (though, read might be a strong word, but still!) and I don't know anybody (personally) who is remotely interrested in those things, and I sometimes have the idea I know people here personally even though I've never seen them.

Also, there is no MobileRead Anonymous here...

we haven't finished digging the escape tunnel yet - and there is no-one allowed to sell tickets for the escape-express-train......


that's apart from the big heavy chains, the duck-tape, dried-up can of WD-40 and the fear of missing out on the latest stories of H&V et alii ......

Thanks for creating the poll, Nikkie.

There must be some subliminal programming embedded in the webpages here to keep us addicted. Trying to give it up would be so difficult.

I meant here as in here, wherever I am... With my physical body (if I even have one!) So, the only MRA there is, is right on the forum and thus I can't leave...

Because no one else will talk to me.

Well, that's not exactly true. The voices in my head talk to me, but few others do.

Well, that's not exactly true either. Phsrynk will talk to me in one-liners, but he charges me $300. Everyone else here talks to me for free . . . so far (shhh.)

The other reason is because when I first got here the door closed and locked behind me. They keep the EXIT doors locked during business hours and that runs from zero-tween BCE to 11ty/60ish (hike), and there's no key. So there you have it.

It's a trajesty.
