To tmesis again.

I know you know I know you know I'm crazy.
I like your nick. It reminds me of Mimesis.

To Volte.
Your clickable link does not work, either.

siomotteikiru = atamagaii = Phi-Staszek

Yes?

I am finding myself to be a fan of this person, who ever she or he is. Something about the expression "I doubt, therefore I might be." That's so brilliant.

A link that works.

Off topic, but were we ever on one?

Right. Text books. There are good ones and some bad ones. I like the funny ones.

It seems to work..... sometimes. It's very strange. It worked when I previewed, then didn't work (404) when I clicked after reading your post, and then when I tried copy-pasting and so forth, it started working again, and then it worked when I clicked on it. Either something is weird on pochta.ru, or I am utterly confused as to what is happening.

To Volte,

It's not a practical joke of mine, I know it seems so. I've been having a very good laugh lately. I'm starting to like this board.

I'd be surprised if it were a practical joke of yours; it doesn't seem like your style. I can't say I've never seen websites behave like that before, but it's rather unusual, and attributable to any number of causes, only some of which are intentional.

And yes - this board is, in the end, rather likable, I find. A lot of the people here, like Iversen, are great (his posts are thought-provoking, and make me think of an entirely different style of study that I definitely wouldn't have come up with by myself), and despite the repetition inherent in any forum, there are a lot of fresh ideas here - at least to me, as a relative newbie to systemic language learning.
