There are no f*cking cursewords in my f*cking help source...
Even if some people do that sort of thing on a regular basis.

However, I did include "Muahahaha" in there somewhere (St. Joseph of Ossanna only knows where now, as that help is ~450 topics by now), commented out, and my name appears in the source a couple of times, besides being in the screenshots here and there.*

* I had no idea this was the case, but according to a recent discussion on TECHWR-L, putting one's name in the screenshots of one's help projects by way of "signing" your work is apparently quite common amongst tech writers. I swear, I never heard of it before I'd already been doing it for years (and feeling like I was getting away with something).

Q: What did one postmodernist say to the other postmodernist?
A: It doesn’t matter.

Addendum to the Other Day's Post: I got home yesterday and found -- there it was, just as I'd been expecting -- a phone message from my ex. I knew it was only a matter of time, since I knew he'd been sniffing around my website. It sort of went like this: "Hi, how are you doing, I haven't heard from you in a long time... (pause *sigh*) Call me...if you feel like it... (long digression about Naturally Speaking) Oh, and just wanted to let you know there are a lot of people at Pennsic who miss you. You still have a lot of friends there..." If you can imagine all this being said in a tone of voice precisely between wistful and whiny, you're dead on.

The following is me indulging my evil impulse by proxy, thus dispelling the Compelling Bad Idea™

Dear Bastard,

The reason you haven't heard from me in a long time is that a long time ago, I told you in no uncertain terms to GO THE FUCK AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE. Remember how, when we first started dating, you kept insisting that any time I wanted you to go away, I should just tell you and you would? Well, the more fool me, because you were obviously lying your ass off. I'm still sick and tired of your behaviour and your attempts to manipulate and emotionally blackmail me, so if I can, I'm going to send you to /dev/null as far as my existence is concerned (since you apparently don't take a hint even when it's delivered to your forehead by trebuchet).

FOAD,

?!
