I really love that new description.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I wouldn't tell people they have to read the FAQ.

Because books.
Wasn't someone rewriting it? Sophia, maybe?

I can see it now, P-C. They'll be all, "she Devil!" and you'll be all, "but... but... she loves the Oxford comma, like I do!" "So you love the Oxford comma more than your own mother?" Silence on the line. "Well do you?... Polter?" Silence. "Polter?" "Hold on, I'm thinking..."
Where's the goddamn LIKE button?

I did a rewrite at some point, but nothing ever went anywhere. maybe I'll dig around my hard drive this weekend and see if I can find anything.

Err, I was joking about that. I'm so bad at Facebook I don't like a ton of things I should.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I wouldn't tell people they have to read the FAQ.
Agreed.

All is well that ends in pizza.
At the very least until it's updated.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm for an update. You could just say something like "we have a helpful FAQ". IME people who will read the FAQ will read it, and people who won't won't, regardless of whether you tell them to. So maybe just letting people know it's there is enough.
