Love is a fine sentiment, but this isn't the Love Boat. This is a warship.

Yeah, but... It is the Love Boat, really.

And excellent ideas they were!

And I'll be sure to hit you up if I need help with classical things, or second-hand help with classical languages. It comes up every now and then. (But I am not going to read Decline and Fall for this fandom, not, not, not!)

so it's quite gratifying to know I can make people feel things.

You are very good at making people feel things! And the language in this is quite lovely, too -- I wasn't quoting out the turns of phrase that I admire, but I did admire plenty of them.

(P.S. No, I have no idea what your main blog is! And being dign'fied is in no way a prerequisite to my enjoying a blog.)
