I note that the most recent member to join us is Lindariel, so welcome, Lin. For those who don't know her, Lindariel was a regular(ish) poster to the APS forum, and chases orcs in her spare time (assuming she's the same Lindariel, of course).

b) Surely in British English we say "a couple of early works"? |

I think that's very Tone-esque! He's been mulling over use of the word "gnome", and has written as if we are privy to what's been going on in his head. Quite a few of Tone's more obscure postings are like that ...! |
