A silly thing ...

... I posted on Usenet, but I thought might amuse other people, from a discussion on sequels to other people's works like The Hobbit...

"Know, o Prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Numenor and its gleaming cities, and the rise of the civilizations of Men, there was an Age undreamed of, when kingdoms dark and light lay spread across

usenet??

I'm impressed. SBC dropped usenet and I haven't really missed it either. I used to live on usenet, especially DBF (?).

here's wishing you and your family a great 2010. be the start of a great decade.

I've been on Usenet since roughly 1989, mostly frequenting rec.arts.sf.written, rec.arts.anime.misc, and rec.games.frp.*; I was in alt.callahans off and on, too. I don't know "dbf", though.

Hoppy new year and decade to you as well!
