Elmore has decided that Cundo Rey didn’t work and changed back the novel name to Foley’s Back.  There are several good reasons for the restoration of that title.  Which do you like best?

Has it been a hundred thousand words since the last exclamation point already? Time flies.

We thought of it.  It’s been taken.

This is a poll, not a search for a new title.  Elmore is happy with Foley’s Back.

Gregg grouchy? Surely not.  If Elmore is happy with that, as you say - why the poll? Why give people the option of ‘neither’ if they’re then gagged on offering a title they don’t dislike?

Oh sorry, please don’t pull the thread.

Please do not ever run a poll on ‘Gregg’s ability to deal good-naturedly with Elmore’s fans and not see them as other kids competing for his favourite uncle’s attention’.

No, don’t pull it.  This is typical Gregg Sutter schtick.  We’ve come to accept and even expect a little literary skullduggery from our fearless leader.

Frustrated.

Surely not.  If Elmore is happy with that, as you say - why the poll?

Elmore thought the poll was interesting.  I thought of it as value added content.

Why give people the option of ‘neither’ if they’re then gagged on offering a title they don’t dislike?

But the lesson I learned here is not to have polls. 

Oh sorry, please don’t pull the thread.

Why would I pull the thread?

Please do not ever run a poll on ‘Gregg’s ability to deal good-naturedly with Elmore’s fans and not see them as other kids competing for his favourite uncle’s attention’.

It’s not easy running a website like this.  You want it to be relevant and responsive.  You have to add new content all the time and the supply is sometimes limited or redundant.  You want to have lively forum discussion, but it’s limited to a small group.  So small that you, Pushpin, are the 20th most frequent poster at a whopping six posts.  I’m just trying to get some discussion going.  Cumulatively, The Dutch Forum as well as the site itself has quite a bit good information on it.

I basically do the best I can for Dutch.  I think I give him a respectable web presence.  So does he.

Is skullduggery your new favorite word?

Was trying to think of a word that would fit the sentiment and that one came to mind.  When I looked it up the definition seemed to fit, so yeah, it’s my new favorite word.  That and ‘redonculous.’
