Deep point

Wow, this is the first time in many weeks that I've been the only one online here. It's been an immensely productive time. My own recent postings were weak, beginning with losing my temper against Pezer, and falling back into the uncultured approach of defensively praising the merit of my efforts. There are phases, I have the impression that the waning moon gives a hard time upholding standards. Whatever the cause, I was pretty startled by how standards can suddenly drop. I don't think I was the only one. But the good work, thankfully, is all here. Thanks, Parodites, Pezer, Sauwelios and  Capable, Magister Templi without whom this place and its fire/standard would be impossible, for all that gold that was newly put into the world.
