    Hi, Hira. Of course it makes diffirence, now the possibility of getting surprised by the change of votes becomes less and .... and it has a significance, it's Virgil's wedding anniverairy!

    Shouldn't we start reading 'The Road' today? I couldn't find the reading thread.

    The Forum does not start these automatically; someone needs to be online to long enough to dedicate enough to set these threads and polls.

    I am that person at the moment and despite my best intentions, sometimes my real life responsibilities interfere with my cyber ones.

    The discussion thread thread will be started shortly. I profusely apologise for this unacceptable delay (17 hours and 15 minutes -to be exact- in my part of the world - 6 hours of which I was asleep and the rest mainly at work) and hope that none of our members have been inconvenienced beyond repair and what they could endure).

    I was just wondering, cuz I haven't been around much lately, so I just wanted to know if I'm right, cuz I started reading the book. I didn't mean for it to sound rude or demanding.
