1) Wow, this is amazing and I can't imagine things like that coming from my brain.
2) How the hell did that sentence/mistake/section manage to escape my eagle-eyes
3) I have no recollection of putting that piece down ever, not even a spark about the subject of it.
For me, there are so many great things out there to read and so little time, that I tend to avoid my stuff.
Anyway, good question.
Thanks,

These are really good points, Nigel. I'm usually sick of reading a book that I have been working on for a long time. But a year or two later, I get a lot of pleasure out of it.
