Oops! I've been chatty today and my 1000th post almost snuck up on me!

Took me almost two years to get there. I'm going to miss the little numbers counting up...!

Decisions, decisions.... (And I've got to do it now while I'm thinking of it, or I'll make an absent-minded reply, any second now.)

Hmmmm... Well, let me reiterate to *please* push anything you subscribe to to publish our Nance:

Speaking of writing, I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, but I found a couple of good references on writing letters to your representatives and to the editor a while ago. Had to go to www.archive.org for one of them. DU and www.archive.org--what would we do without them?

Well, I guess I should put something of my own to mark the occasion. Things larger than a few sentences do not exactly flow trippingly from my fingers, and I gotta get this done before I make that absent-minded reply.

I know! Here's what my mom taught me to ask myself, all those years ago. (It's not exactly "mine," but she *did* give it to me.)

1. How would you like it if somebody did that to you?
2. What would happen if everybody did that?

I haven't tested it rigorously, but I'd be willing to bet that those two questions would steer you right (errr, left....) in at least 99.99% of situations.

Thanks Mom!
