J.R.♦ (moderator)

"My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the commonplaces of existence. These little problems help me to do so." (Sherlock Holmes)

I sometimes enjoy embedding puns and subtle self-references into many of my answers and comments.

Remember, context is everything.

Never make the mistake of thinking that a tiny preposition has only one meaning.
