I Would Prefer Not To.

That is all.

1. Me too, but

I still do.

[MineralMan]

3. Ain't it the truth.

2. Bartleby?

[MineralMan]

4. Well, I am a scrivener, after all.

[Scrivener7]

5. Yes, dear, I got your personal reference the first time.

[MineralMan]

7. Well, it's a pretty obvious one, isn't it?

On the other hand, Scrivener is also a piece of software for writers. Aptly named, too. Me? I use Microsoft Word.

[Scrivener7]

9. And that's why you made this OP? As an homage to the software?

Or was it the followup to your reply to me in another thread that used the same reference?

Seems a little silly to me, but whatever floats your boat.

[MineralMan]

10. No, it is not.

It has been over 50 years since I read Melville's novella. And, yet, that single line is unforgettable, isn't it?

As for the software, I have never seen it in operation. As a writer for decades, I never saw a need for anything other than a typewriter or word processor to use for writing of any kind. Perhaps the software is useful, but I don't know.

There are many clever things out there that seem useful, but are not.

For some reason, I was thinking of both Melville and software today. Go figure.

I commend you on your quick response, though. I almost never post in the DU Lounge.

11. You know that all new threads show up in "Latest Threads" right?

[MineralMan]

14. I don't use that list. My home page on DU is GD.

I never visit the Home, Latest Threads, or Greatest Threads pages. Just GD.

We all have different ways of using GD.

[Totally Tunsie]

6. That's a great reply to many questions!

[MineralMan]

8. I agree.

[BlueGreenLady]

12. That's a relief! n/t

[MineralMan]

16. I know, right?

[BlueGreenLady]

17. :)

[Wounded Bear]

13. With that attitude, who would want you to?

[MineralMan]

15. LOL!

[dpibel]

18. Let us all hope then,

that you don't.
