Ahhhh well, I'm blushing from all this recognition, thank you everyone--I do try to make my comments meaningful and hopefully helpful to authors, AFAIC a major part of the fun here is discussing the various stories.
However, I must give considerable credit for my reaching this milestone now to two groups of greedy, petty and self-centered people who have kept me more focused on spanking stories than I normally would have been at this time of year, namely the multimillionaire NFL owners and the millionaire NFL players.
By squabbling over the dividing up of billions of dollars of revenue during a serious recession, and hence effectively shutting down the National Football League indefinitely, these two groups have left me more time and energy to focus on reading stories and (recently) analyzing aspects of World War II in this Library.
Which perhaps is actually for the best... --C.K. |
