You obviously missed the part about thinking "a sane person" is going to read such a thing; those are the ones you weed out. Should you have reviewers to point to who have bravely gone where no man has gone before in a blind fog of irrelevance until the last word, I might suggest they have the incentive of the review process and possible reciprocation to lead them on to the promised land and possibly exempt them from the sanity clause -- maybe a pun there, who knows.

So, which definition of "farce" are you using? I see nothing comedic within your verbiage. Additionally, to modify farce with "serious" as you do, seems to negate the purpose of farce, but then most of your arguments seem to negate either your current position or a prior one. I would concede that your literary depiction could be in the "absurd event" or "waste of time" category, but then it would be doubtful you would make that assertion about it, so please enlighten me. Take care. Vern

If movies, books, art, etc. were plucked off the market after the first week of less than fantastic sales, then the first week would be a clear indicator of success, but thankfully the market and business gurus don't measure that way so couch potato critics ascribing success to first week numbers is rather asinine to say the least.

I wasn't referring to the technical manuals (everything you mention about them is true), rather the real book titled "Word For Dummies" and I was literally a computer dummy, having virtually never used one before, but the book was easy to understand and follow directions even for me. If you haven't tried it, perhaps if would help; if you actually have tried it rather than the standard manuals and still found it confusing, then thanks for letting me know I'm a whiz kid and didn't know it, lol. Take care. Vern
