Subject:      FILLER: Writers POLL: Why?

Why do you stay here?
        1.  because people are rude, fascinating, bright, opinionated,
caring, smart, superior, strange, clever, frightening, interesting,
cultured... (feel free to add your own twist to what the people are)
        2.  because WRITERS is rude, friendly, homey, scandalous,
unique, personal, loud, scintillating, creative, cool, a nice place to
come home to... (feel free to untwist this, as well)
        3.  I don't have the slightest idea!
        4.  It's a habit
        5.  I didn't realize I could leave...

[bonus question for the terminally prolix...what is "here"?  Tell us
something about this place, this list, this little band of
wordslingers and grammarbenders...]
