Ad Mad:

So my first answer from yesterday is gone; after losing it, I first reloaded recently closed tabs, and before closing any tab, I checked if "behind" the current page in each tab, there ...

Very happy to have been able to write down my last "real" post before reading that figure's implicit incitement to silence me; some people try to be constructive, others try to destruct.
And that's w...

At Mad... & Amontillado,
For about 30 minutes now, I've been trying to find the start of my answer to your contributions - in Firefox, just one of those CRAP web "browsers" which are unable to correct...

43 years ago, I viewed Apocalypse Now (1979): Oh, man! So yesterday, I viewed it again, but it was the about 3:15 (hours, mind you) "Redux" version now, i.e. the new, greatly extended (sic!) cut from ...

Amontillado, what you say about DT clearly indicates that (even) DT (about which so many people say it would not be) is fit for writing, similar to UR where also many people pretend it wasn't (fit for...

Amontillado, I have to admit my only knowledge from Aeon is from its version 1 - which I found so terrible that I never touched it again - it might have become much better in-between, perhaps one-side...

Once - versions 5 and 6 - MyInfo used some "not-standard" db, I've never known which one. For me, crashes were not rare, both in 5 and 6. None of those "outliners" I've encountered, remained "stable" ...

In my advice re fountain pens - https://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/9759/30 - I forgot to mention that I also had a (14k) Montblanc one in those times, which I then resold after some months(...

When I skimmed all of the above, I didn't discover though, in your discussion, a core element: the nib HAS to be 18k gold instead of 14k (or even lower). I myself own - from that time - 6 or 7 fountai...

Linear writing vs. Erratic writing
Linear writing: which follows in the "work" is determined what precedes it (or you will have to throw away large parts of your "work" in case)

Sometimes, people look up to the wrong persons - not because their idols are worthy of it, but because they, the admirers, the fanboys, want to be part of a "followers' community, and whatever the "co...

I think it's probably a very good thing
