I use 2 "T"s. I think of it as a contraction of "out-tuv". I have seen it either way, however. It probably has to do with regional dialects.

That's happened to me a couple of times, Dirk. Extremely annoying.

I do a lot of reading. Lately, I've found myself doing mental reviews of my favorite authors. I keep motivated by jotting down plot details as I think of them in a notepad I keep in my back pocket. Then I transfer them to an outline. If I'm stuck, I turn to drawing as a way to relax. Or, I fire up my gaming computer and run my train simulator until the mood strikes me again. I've even used the simulator to depict certain scenes for my books.

Since I am fully retired, I have quite a bit of time to do this, but now my eyes are not cooperating, so I've had to back off both reading and writing.

Since I joined this web site, I feel that the quality of my writing has taken a quantum leap forward. Reviews received point the way and I add/delete as needed.

I'm highly motivated, but hampered at the moment by physical details.

I think you mean "elicit an emotional response", although an illicit one would be interesting also. As I've gotten older, my illicit resonses have diminished quite a bit.

Being able to print out an inline review is wonderful, but I have a question:

On the web page that results when you click the little printer icon, the referred to text is reverse video (white on black). But, when printed on my laser printer, the highlighting is gone. There is nothing to tell me what the comment refers to. A normal inline review box will not only supply the blue highlight, but the top of the drop-down box contains what the reviewer highlighted in italics. Neither that, nor the while on black highlighting is retained on the printed page. Can this be fixed?

Did it to me again, Sol. Only this time, I got finessed out of getting any points because I backed out of an in-line review by clicking the "Return to posting" button at the bottom. I think this should be turned into an "Escape" button - one that simply cancels your intention to submit an in-line review. You already have the "Save it" and the "Submit it" buttons, so why does this extra button also submit it?

I will go ahead and submit a normal review anyway because I have lots of points, but it is wrong not to have gotten them.

EDIT: Now, this is strange. After being told I would not get any points because I'd already reviewed this chapter, I closed the entire tab, went back to the notification email, and clicked the link again. This time, it said at the top "No review from you" and I was able to submit a normal review. Something doesn't jibe here.

That happens to me  often, Janet. I couldn't tell you why, though.

~Tom

Well, if legitimate, then they show a funny way of showing it. Offering no way to create a username/password is a bad beginning, Sol.

The EMAIL may be legit, but I think the OFFER has lots of hooks in it.

EDIT: I didn't receive any email for responses to this thread either.

That's part of my problem. I think it's just the season - and my age - that's getting to me. I can't read a screen for longer than a half hour before I get a headache. Trifocals are new, and in alignment, so it came be that. Lenscrafters rand a little check last week to make sure.

I'll get through the backlog, though.
