Follow-Up to Yesterday's Poll

[gnomi]

I introduce to those who didn't know what I was talking about...

The Internet (formerly "The Usenet") Oracle!

As for what prompted the poll, it was a comment I made yesterday (the context of the comment is almost irrelevant):

For lo, I ponder your query, whether to novelize or to remain solely in the realm of short fiction.

(and now I'm sounding vaguely like the Internet Oracle (formerly the Usenet Oracle. I think I'll switch from EMnE to Oracluar Speak...)

The Internet Nomi-cle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

What to do, what to do?

And in response, thus spake the Nomi-cle:

That Voodoo that you do so well!

You owe the Nomi-cle an effigy of Richard Gere.

It then occurred to me that it was possible that a number of the folks on my friends list might not know Orrie, so I figured I'd ask. But I was right in my assumption -- there are folks who weren't previously aware of Orrie, but the majority did know what I was talking about.

I *wish* I still had the old Oracle emails I sent and received back in the '90s. Some of them were astonishingly funny.

I wonder if the folks who set up the Oracle set up archiving?

You owe the Oracle a record player.
