Well, I guess I'm different. I have higher standards for myself, than
most others do, it seems. I think I've always been that way.
Asimov wrote even more a day, but much more often than I would ever
have attempted. Screenwriter Stephen J Cannel, also is a prolific
writer.
Because of my dyslexia, it wasn't until personal computers and word
processing became useful, that I could write something as long as a
novel, without the help of a secretary.

Then, since you can't prove I've ever lied, your "basis" is your own
mental illness.
What is pain? Do you let it stop YOU? Are you a sissy weakling?
For me, pain is annoying, but I don't let it, in itself, limit me. It
DOES caution me, however, with the fact that, with my condition, the
more pain I feel, the more irreversible damage is occurring. There is a
progression to this. Some activities hasten this progression.
Due to the concentration that is required for me to do this, I often
don't even notice the pain (martial art training), until the numb
fingers stop responding usefully to my will. Then I have to stop for a
few hours, for them (hopefully) to become useful again.
You snipped from my post what would support what I just said, and you
know it. That is deliberate deceptive manipulation. It is copied below:
"Ah, the old arthritic hands lie."
Here you are saying that I lie, about something for which you can have
no knowledge. This makes what you said a lie.
Actually, I have problems with arthritis all over, and not just in my
hands. With typing, it's the wrists and up that are the most
painful, and the fingers that go numb, and this week, I was recovering
from a sliced finger. The bandage is off today, and it seems to be OK,
even if it doesn't look all that nice. This week the typing pain is
more than usual, because of the new office chair. The slight difference
in hight, may take a while longer go get used to. If I can. All this is
evident in my typing in IMs, where I make too many typing mistakes to
correct. Those who with IM with me know I have these problems, because
it's quite obvious, and my IM friends have probably discussed this with
CH.
Are you trying to manipulate me to post information about my illnesses,
that would compromise my personal security, by denying them? As you try
to do with the identity denying sock puppet attacks? I have been
advised by some people that this is your intention. I told them that I
don't believe you would stoop so low. And I right in this? Or am I
wrong? If you don't answer this question, you will confirm their
suspicions.
