That's brilliant! I need an 'I would prefer not to quit you' icon now...

Isn't it? It's the highlight of my week. Can you create an "I would prefer not to quit you" icon?

I always teach the homoerotic subtext of "Bartleby" but had never noticed this until a student quoted it in her paper ...

(Query: Has anyone"Domtext" for a particularly commanding storyline?)

oops...that should read 'has anyone ever used "Domtext" for' etc....

Look! But I had to make it Blake's 7 specific, because Avon would totally say 'I would prefer not to quit you'.

I think you have the copyright in Domtext! PUT IT TO GOOD USE.
