Because people keep bringing it up: Yes, ush is my younger brother. No, we aren't the same person, as several people have discovered after making stupid assertions in catbox and elsewhere. I have been on this silly website for eight years. Please email me before closing my account, blaming things on me, etc. I have grown old and bitter, particularly in my interactions with this place. But I still like to come in once in awhile to check my messages without facing a flurry of crap from people who can't tell whether this is a website for writers or some sort of boring eternal flamewar that I'm itching to be personally involved in. I'm not. Leave me alone. </getofflawn>
