Two articles with plans to send off another in the near future--that's nothing to sneeze at. I do agree, however, that Will has a penchant for making a big deal out of everything (not that people like Greg Smith are restrained in this category).

Even then, things are sometimes subject to change (case in point, the infamous once-aborted issue of the FARMS Review that contained Bill Hamblin’s “Metcalfe is Butthead” acrostic).

In any case, to the best of my knowledge, the following represents the schedule for my soon-forthcoming articles.


Yeah, that is pretty much what we were looking for. Thanks.

By the way, I don't think anyone was expecting a "set in stone" date. We were just tired of reading your vague announcements of hazily described, forthcoming work without any clue about the timeline, etc. I do love how you have a need to create the appearance that a simple request like that was somehow unreasonable--this time by making it out to be something it actually wasn't.

Oh, and, generally my experience is that I have a pretty solid sense of when my work is coming out long before it does.

Perhaps you missed the other times, but aside from the approximate dates, I have posted several times that I would have an article in each of 2011 issues of the JBMORS. I haven't tried to be vague at all, but the JBMORS is not on a regular schedule, except that they've been trying to put out 2 issues a year. The scroll length paper has been fully edited and ready to print for over six months.
I thought myself the wiser to have viewed the evidence left of such a great demise. I followed every step. But the only thing I ever learned before the journey's end was there was nothing there to learn, only something to forget.

I know it's a real challenge at your age, dissonance, but you need to try harder to pay attention:

(The KEP paper will be Part 1 of 4 such articles that will be serialized in successive issues of the JBMORS, and then eventually compiled into a single published volume.)

Then maybe you should have answered harmony's question better the first time.

I know you feel compelled to act like an asshole, but I think she was saying that she expected a book to come out this year.

No she wasn't. She was just being her regular bitchy, insufferably obnoxious self.

I've learned to expect nothing less from her. Frankly, I don't believe she's even capable of anything else.

With very rare exceptions, I choose to ignore dissonance's questions all the time.

I consider it a matter of good policy.

Hey, if you want to get upset over it, that is your business. I thought it was sufficient to point out that your accomplishments were substantial. You might have left it at that, and probably should have.

I also make it a matter of policy to never leave things where you and your friends think they ought to be left.
