I’m happy that I’m not the only one. On the other, I’m ashamed because, well, it’s a little ridiculous. My feelings about the demise of Lingua Franca and Arts and Letters Daily are not far from those expressed by Caterina the other day at caterina.net: “And so it happens that we are depressed that both Lingua Franca and the Arts and Letters Daily have gone under, because they were our own personal musk; with them goes the seduction strategies of eggheads everywhere. ‘Dear Lingua Franca, thank you for helping us get laid…’ Snf.”
Even better, though, is that I no longer require strategies for attracting new people with whom I will share such base urges, having been safely put out to pasture with my one true love.
