You’re not seeing this. I’m just trying to get in the habit of posting “content” here.

Ah, the life.

I highly dislike that the only option is a heart for responses. Prefer the more neutral yet specific thumbs-up, if confined to one “option”.

Better to just indicate (regarding nature of post’s content):

While I’m mired in The History of Pendennis, for research purposes. Does not help that I’m a slow reader, but I credit that to my facility with language, such as that is.
