Well, it can be hard to tell, sometimes.
Thanks, you-all. You really didn't collude, did you? Neat!

Head Nitpicker
Vanguard ought to have some good ideas! ;-) I don't think I dare start listing requirements...

Whoever sent you that PM can take over the job of Head Nitpicker. I haven't been terribly happy with Juan's performance in the office lately.

Yours Truly,

Faldage
Nitpicker Emeritus


Thank you, sire, for reclaiming the throne.

Humbly Reticent,
WO'N

I rest my case. He can't even get a bad job performance review straight.

nah, he's emeritus. He'll be around like a 'grey eminence' should his successor need advice.

Perhaps some clarification is in order. As far as I can make out, and I only found out about Suite 101 when I was approached, there are two parts to Suite 101: an open access part and a feepaying course part.

In the open access part people are appointed as contributing editors. They have to write monthly, fortnightly (which they bizarrely call bi-weekly), or weekly articles on their subject. This is what I would be doing. The woman who is doing this for Ancient Rome is familiar with some articles I've had posted elsewhere on the internet and is very keen for me to take over Ancient Greece, which seems to have fallen by the wayside, as my subject.

I've just come back to the Board after a couple of days. Suite 101 is only semi-commercial. Also agree with Betsy about skiting anyway.

I knew I had been out of it, news-wise, but I thought for sure that I'd've heard about the plotting of an ancient civilization takeover... I didn't even realize that Rome still had a vengence going.

Good thing I joined this group.

Well, it's kinda vice versy, isn't it? The thought of Bingley and his Indonesian Mafia hijacking a time machine somewhere in the backstreets of Jakarta (where the streets are very mean) and haring off back to the days when a spade was an oikedda and Ithaca was only a poxy little dustbowl in Greece to become an absolute dictator just about kills me!
