I've noticed that; I have no personal problem with the discussion. It's
interesting.

I find it interesting that when discussions not relating to writing happen
on this list, they tend to go on and on unless a person has a problem with
it, then all of a sudden it becomes a problem. Writing has not been a main
priority on this list for a while, but we turn to a discussion about gay
rights, and all of a sudden we need to get back to writing...

People can't still really believe that, can they?

Atty shakes her head and wanders off.
