Yes, that was funny. Had to be read to be believed, a relic from the past, when BW was young and carefree, without the burden of a huge forum on his transluminiscent shoulders...
Sorry to stray off topic ( ) but: Does anyone know where Lindil's former signature quote is from? It's been bugging me for ages now.

I always imagined the phrase to be his own, but it relates to Osanwe (both as the discipline and as board of his (a little bit desolate now, but things may change))

Let us ask him when he's around, though

I did ask him eventually and I learnt it's indeed his own. It's not part of a larger tale, though...it does seem to be more like a motto for his board like you suggested, HI.
