>Knowing that was Jean's blog with the word count obsession post, 
>knowing her sense of humour, and knowing she is due to submit her 
>thesis shortly, I happily laughed and kept laughing even when she

>I agree with Denise's comment about the fonts. They can be so 
>expressive. Clancy Ratliff's "Culture Cat" blog on Rhetoric and 
>Feminism used to have a wonderful retro font called "Beauty School 
>Dropout" for the title. (I'm into fonts so I know things like that.)

>blog so Mel didn't present it this time.)

>Mary it is a pity you had to catch that flight and couldn't be there 
>for the whole session. It was the liveliest session of all that I 
>went to, and afterwards as we broke up into conversational groups to 
>leave the room, the pitch of the conversation was more like a party 
>than a conference. I don't think there was any animosity.
