In my opinion, editing is like adding spices to a dish. Said dish might be quite fine on its own, but add a dash of this and a sprinkle of that, and it becomes so much more.Damien Walters https://www.blogger.com/profile/02980239504166023814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083841011327244440.post-3266895774309135662009-11-21T22:25:17.920-05:002009-11-21T22:25:17.920-05:00Are you expecting a deluge of queries as a result ...Are you expecting a deluge of queries as a result of NaNo?
