I'm really rooting for this thread to do it, too. Even with the rumored steroid enhancement.

You know the number of times i've clicked on this thread to see what comment has been made as I feel responsible / I feel I should check to see if I should respond?

But that's a lot of posts anyway.

(Sorry Mark.)

No it's alright. You can.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 June 2004 13:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Just lock ilx and be done with it, please.

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Monday, 28 June 2004 13:03 (nineteen years ago) link

I did order the book the day before I ordered the copy. I don't know if it will actually happen, the removal of the item from Cafepress may have cancelled the order implicicitly. I idly thought about making this tread a volume two, and very much keeping it to myself.

(Xpost prob)

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 28 June 2004 13:04 (nineteen years ago) link

(haha if I could lock ILX, I could CONTROL THE UNIVERSE)
(at least I tell myself that)
(hold me)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 June 2004 13:07 (nineteen years ago) link

mandee & I ordered the book, too.

we should have got.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 28 June 2004 13:36 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't know.

And now I tie a brick to this thread and it sinks away...

(bye bye thread)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 28 June 2004 14:09 (nineteen years ago) link

What a thread.

I've been fairly repelled in this thread by the fact that certain people think that their words are more important than other people's words because they've written stuff professionally. Like that makes you better than us barely-literate proles who haven't made money from their writing?

If you've been paid for WRITING ILX POSTS then maybe you've got a fair claim, posts that you've worked hard on and feel represent the best you can do and demonstrate your professional ability to the world. If you haven't, even if you happen to be Noam Chomsky telling knob jokes and talking about how you like it up the arse, then tough shit, you're in the same boat as the rest of us schmucks. Live with it.

(NB I don't think it's right or appropriate to publish/print for non-personal use anything that's been on ILX, but this has all gone way beyond a discussion of legal and moral rights)
