[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 4858758, member: 54707"] I'll agree with that to an extent. But I had to sorta call it something to imply my point. Some of the things I've done are recyclings in different ways, some I invented on my own. Writing is what I do for a living. Or, to be more accurate, it's one of the things I do for a living. A piece like this may take half an hour to write, if that long, then another twenty minutes or so to edit, if that long, usually at a later time. Something like this is entertaining and fun for me to write. It's an enjoyable diversion from my usual work load. Nevertheless, I know that in the modern world, especially on the internet, attention spans are short and people are anxious to move on to the next big thing as soon as possible. Someone suggested (I can't recall who, sorry about that, a lady I think) I put up a synopsis or briefing for my longer pieces so people can skim along to the point and get to the next thing, and so I did. Trying to make it habit. But it doesn't bother me to write things like this. I do it for leisure and distraction. So I'm sure I'll do more of it. Well, I gotta Cyberwarfare class and exercise this evening, and I gotta get my kid to a fundraiser. Sorry, all I got time to reply to now. Gotta bug. Carry on folks...enjoy yourselves. See ya.
