I do it because it generally makes people happy. To be honest I could care less. But
if it
makes people happy I'll do it. Same way with following the Chicago Manual of Style if
necessary. I can't see people's worried about it...but it makes them happy so I'll do
it.
I guess I have read too many technical reports. And thought I think Phillip B. Dick is
not as
good a stylist as many sci-fi writers, his ideas are just better. I fear the world has
grown too
formal and fussy for me, but alas there is no wether else to go. So I will try to make
people
happy and communicate as much as possible thought it makes me sad, and the world has
grown colder and meaner in my world view.
Have Fun,
Sends Steve
