Many thanks Jack, Christine and S.L.!

Many thanks, CJ, Rachel, Marilyn and John!

Many thanks for letting us know. I wondered what happened to her.

Many thanks, Jack. I'll get cracking at the chapters I haven't read.:)

Glad to hear Diana's home. Best wishes to both of you! Regards, Randy & Sylvia

Hi Alan,

Many thanks for sharing this with us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Di at this time. Regards, Randall & Sylvia

Completed an inline review of NJC's The Sorcerer's Progress, Book 1: Children and Beasts, chapter 17.

Some of the newbies reciprocate but there are several who don't even say thank you for a review. Just shows what their manners must be like.  For the most part, I've stopped going into the forums--they were going off on too many tangents from what a post was originally about. Not sure about the competitions as I stopped entering them long ago as I'm just too busy.

Hey Dirk,

This is from the Chicago Manual of Style (used by many agents and publishers), section 8.22 civil titles: "Much of the usage below is contradicted by the official literature typically generated by political offices, where capitalization of a title in any position is the norm (see 8.20). In formal prose, however, civil titles are capitalized only when used as part of the name (except as noted)." Here's the specific one you want:

"the secretary of state; John Kerry, secretary of state; Secretary of State Kerry or Secretary Kerry". This seems to indicate you should use secretary.

Hope this helps, Regards, Randall

Many congrats, JP!

Many thanks, Rachel and NJC!
