Search options (Page 29 of 32)

I don't copy and paste, just highlight and comment on the highlighted area. But I agree the highlighting can be difficult if not impossible, when the section you want highlighted continues on to the next line. So I've had to account for that in my comments, adding more verbiage than I would otherwise have to do.

When Jim was researching Cathy in Facebook and discovered she was engaged to Tim Howard, he immediately wondered if this Tim was the same Tim who they had left in the car as a baby. But I'd never mentioned to that point that Jim ever learned the baby's first name! So I had to go back and get that in. Yeah, two editors missed that.

And Janet!

I think that it should occur to a newbie that in order to get more reviews, reciprocation is a must. This wasn't spelled out in the old site, per se, either, but beyond common courtesy it was logical to do the payback. I made some friends on the site - including you, Aussie - doing that. There will be those who won't even respond to reviews, let alone reciprocate, but who needs those writers, anyway? They've made their prresence, or lack thereof, known. So live and let live, and let the cream (those sincere in their efforts to improve their craft) rise to the top.

I agree! And who wants to see posts weeks old, anyway? Is this an archives issue? Can't the early posts be deleted after, say, a couple of weeks? Or name the limit. But there should be a limit, in my view.

There was a TV show back in the day dealing with this very subject. It was a Playhouse 90 or one of those. Anyway, a group of poker-playing buddies got bored with the "risk" involved in their high-stakes games and decided to commit the perfect murder. The victim would be a complete stranger, with no connection to any of them. That's all I can remember! But I'd start with that, then hire a hitman anonymously (like Steve McQueen hired the crew in "The Thomas Crown Affair.") Of course, the only motive involved would be just to do a murder and get away with it. If you're talking about a real reason to kill someone, it gets dicier to accomplish, since that motive could eventually lead to you, and your alibi could break down.

Well, I have yet to receive an e-mail about anything related to the new site. Whatever the mechanism, though, that would be the only way you'd know if someone responded to a forum post, short of searching for that thread and scrolling down. Unless you spend the day glued to your computer. Even in the old site, I wouldn't be notified of a response to one of my forum posts, though new reviews would be announced.  Don't know how yours came about, but it's gotta be good, right? Can't see how it could just be serendipity, but what do I know? Not much, apparently. Sol, a little help here, huh?

You beter figure out real quick what SolN means! Hint: Look up two posts from this one, and you'll see the face of SolN, the head man.

I'll give him a look. Thanks.

Crais and Connelly are in my top five. But numero uno for me is Nelson DeMille. His John Corey character, especially, is my favorite. Probably because of his wise-ass nature, something I can identify with.

No, my "Send a Message" to my connections scroller issue has been solved; as has, apparently this latest scrolling issue in the last few minutes! Sol, you're either an attentive genius or this was just a temporary glitch. Maybe both? Thanks!
