Looking at his posting record he is not a daily poster, some gaps there, though not as long as this latest one; hope he is alright.

I think you mean "the illusion of hope"
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I learned a new word today.  "questmonger".  It's not Mongers going to find the Holy Grail, but rather a litigious individual.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I get gwenders when I hear words like questmonger still being used.
