Re: Thursday Open Thread (4.00 / 10)

I've taken a watching brief for the moment. Found I couldn't combine RW work overload with a fundamental lightness of being. Working offline with other ETers on 'big things' - results in due course. I'll be back later in November.

But I never lost the habit of reading ET over morning coffee ;-)

No - all it takes is to cover yourself with salt. They love that.
