RoR: Forum

Congratulations, Jason!!! I just know you're going to do a great job. Your KASS credentials are impeccable, and over the last few months that you've been contributing here, SOLO has been all the richer for your presence.

At the same time, I'd like to salute the Passer of the Torch and the man without whom SOLO would not exist. Linz: You're one of a kind, you Objectivist force of nature :) I don't know how you've managed to juggle SOLO, The Free Radical, a Lanza forum, and a full-time job. A million thanks for your protean talent and inexhaustible spirit!

Congratulations Jason. Please be less curmudgeonly than Linz regarding minor grammatical differences between British and American English.

Derek�heartfelt thanks for your words of appreciation.

Jason�ignore MH's post. He's pitching for such barbarities as commas & periods *outside* quote marks. If I see such abominations appearing on SOLOHQ under your editorship, both you & MH will be shot.

As someone educated (I use the term in its widest sense) in the seventies in the peoples republic of "saaarf lundun" my grip on punctuation has always been somewhat loose. Perhaps Linz can provide a tutorial series now he will have some time on his hands!!

Jason, I know you will do a wonderful job with this. Congratulations!

Regarding all of these grammatical heretics, I'm sending you my whip so you can keep them in line, along with a gigantic tub of White-Out.

Commas outside of quotation marks. Hmmph.

Folks,
Best listen to Jennifer. She is one damn fine editor.

Signed,
Someone pretty good at grammar and punctuation.

And yes, Jason I will be kissing your ass soon, too. (Er, metaphorically speaking, of course.)

Congratulations, Jason, you will do an amazing job.

Tim is likely to say this is another ploy to get laid, but he can be more creative about exactly how. I will say, however, all the NEM of SOLO should be grateful!

Let's just say that the cost of getting an article published on SOLO is now likely to go up.

I can't believe anyone would thing I would exact a higher price than Linz, of all people. He's a total trollop!

But the price *Tim* must pay has now been raised. :-)

Thank you, Jeff. :)

Jason, I believe you may give a whole new definition to the term "usury."

Is it just me, or is it my imagination that every thread around here turns to sex within five or six posts? :-)

I blame Julia. She started it [#6].

Thanks to everyone who expressed congrats and compliments. This is very warming.

Take this as an opportunity to fill up the queue so I don't face a drought my first bit of time on the job. Write, write, write!

Looking forward to see all of your brilliant works. :-)

Jason

P.S. Phil, you notice something that is both wonderful and long-standing. I'm sure Linz was going to name the organization Sense of Sex Objectivists but SOSO sounded too weasely for his taste.

Congrats Jason.

Jason Almighty, please insert the word trollop strategically throughout all articles you think I might disagree with -- or that any lurking Christians, et al, might read late at night.

Cogratulations, Princess!
