Quote: Keel, Tuesday, 24 Aug 2010 07:16It would appear I have a doppelganger. I show up on the member list as being active on the site when I haven’t. Okay, I’m active now because I’ve logged on to post this, but my name showed up before I logged on. I’ve also perused the site from another IP address and, yes, I was listed as being active that day when I hadn’t logged on. I keep getting this image in my head of meeting this other Keel, you know, like Donald Sutherland on Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It’s bad enough looking in the mirror in the morning without the thought of this happening. And what if I actually look like Donald Sutherland? Ooo, shudders. I think you might have hit on something, Keel! They're replacing us one by one with aliens - exact lookalikes. The condition whereby people think everyone has been replaced with lookalikes is called Capgras Syndrome. I prefer to think you suffer from that, because the alternative is too horrible to think about  !

You know, I'm only populating the Message Boards because I've been waiting on three reviews for absolutely ages  ! If I just had one measly review, I might shut the hell up  ! Its not too much to ask is it? How long does it take to write 100 words of drivel for goodness sake  ? Maybe what's happening is that my reviews are being intercepted by Ted and his heavies because I've been telling everyone about the Active Members list, maybe I've hit on something, maybe... Uh oh...  ! (I haven't used this one before!)

Hallow laughter. Aliens taking over members on a writer's forum? What ever next. May the flange be with you. Shit, shit shit!

That member list is nothing but a huge boiling pot containing a semi-liquid substance. It’s a little like watery slush that gets stirred with a knotty stick now and then. And, once in a while (rarely), a large hand reaches in and plucks out a lump to be made rich and famous. After you’ve been bumped around with that stick for several months, you get a thick skin; someone compared it to a rhino. It’s more like cured cowhide, tough but pliable. If you were just dumped in the pot, stay to the middle. That stick hurts when it pins you to the wall.

If you were just dumped in the pot, stay to the middle. That stick hurts when it pins you to the wall. And when that hide is well and truly cured you leave one pot for another, where the criticism makes the most cutting of YWO reviews seem like pleasantries at a Buck Pal garden party. It’s all part of the tanning process. End result: something worth having – giving – selling. Keep stirring that pot.
