At all. I have not even a full set of credits for two semesters in an undergraduate programme.<BR/><BR/>And yet, I was able to edit the about-to-be-released-any-day-now <I>Less Lonely Planet</I>. Indeed, I even added a few complexities to some stories. Not much, granted, but <B>any</B> increase in complexity would be seen as theoretically nigh-on impossible with your writing.<BR/><BR/>How dare this "Welsh establishment figure" (and that seems an oxymoron) suggest that you need to be making allowances for me! If you had, I would be bored by the stories and hate you.<BR/><BR/>And yet, here I am loving your work and the opportunity to wiggle my fingers around inside of it.<BR/><BR/>Pfah! Pfah!<BR/><BR/>May that half-dead malcontent hang his/her head in shame! Just for that I refuse to read any Dylan Thomas.<BR/><BR/>Well, except "A Child's Christmas in Wales", which is genius. BUT THAT'S THE ONLY THING I'LL READ!<BR/><BR/>So there.I.A.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17127683776644028228noreply@blogger.com
