Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

You could always use the Firsfron method of maximizing postcountiness, Sisterdew. One letter per post. :oP

Re: QM - Bar de Doom

True. It takes patience. In the past, I have tried that method, and usually give up after five or six posts. I's just too impatient!

Re: QM - Bar de Doom

*bounces in*
We were repotting in some offices (the town government's IT department) and for the first time, I was the "repotting boss", with one of the first-years to help me. Only for a couple of hours (my instructor joined us later), but I feel so journeywoman-y now, being allowed to do stuff like that without supervision.
Also, I like this repotting service thingy. The IT department is practically a jungle, lots of very big plants, and some tricky stuff like philodendrons growing on wires all over the walls and ceiling, so you can't move the plant from its place on the top of a high shelf to repot it (that's when we start climbing on the furniture). I love tricky stuff.

Also, I think we need a new Mint.
