Sending again hopeful it will get through today
You are not being a shill for it I hope.
Who are these eminences grises behind it, I might contribute a paper
deconstructing my own literary usage, but being as I am without peer, the
very nonpareil as it were, who can peer review it? :)
Actually I wrote the piece as a riposte to those people who like to
objectify autistics like me and dissect our literature with a psychologists
scalpel (they must be performing lobotomy there)
Lets see if this gets through or did I waste my quota on test messages
yesterday.
