>>I should probably warn you that I rub off on people. Look what's happened to dialecticdreamer and siliconshaman, neither of whom were vigorous writers in the past.<<

I noticed that. You and dialecticdreamer both, and your audiences. Since I've started reading your work, I've become more critical (in the thinking sense, not necessarily a negative sense) or what I read, and I've started leaving more thoughtful, in depth comments. To be honest, I'm actually hoping some more of that creativity and word-genius rubs off on me; my talents are a little less in that area.

That sounds like an excellent idea!
