And adding my voice to letting Mary Anne put it up for SLF. Also, thanks for the book recommendation. Its now on my amazon wishlist
I did talk to Mary Anne (well, sent email); at this point, I'd prefer to just have her link here, because I think people expect less authority in some respects from a LiveJournal post than they do from a post on a more formal repository. And -- I've mentioned this, I know I have -- I'm lazy enough to want to be able to just meander and ramble discursively, and if it felt as if I had to in any way be definitive, it would be like work.
I like LJ because of it's informality; I don't mind people linking to anything I post here because obviously it's not locked in any way -- but again, I think being under the LiveJournal banner implies a certain lack of formality, or a certain "personal" element that makes it seem less definitive.
Willing to be talked out of this, though, if points are raised in refutation of these concerns.
