It got your attention which was the mission. So you basically think and we do all the slave labour. I thought I was going to be your special helper, too. Now I realise I'm just a female Clark.

Ha, that was a pretty misleading headline.
As you'll find, I'm extraordinarily disorganized and hard to corral into focused action; Clark has tried his best to keep me on task and at any rate I've been much better about that since getting on suboxone, but for the most part the best thing for the organization is to use me to generate concepts and then organize everyone into a sort of machine that executes those concepts. In this instance, I've been meaning to compile all sorts of stuff (I've written hundreds of articles that may be found online, many of which I've forgotten about) but will never do so as I have all sorts of material flowing around in my head and I jump from one thing to another (part of this is legitimate as I keep getting new sorts of things to do, like campaigns and film treatments). So, in general, yes, these things won't get done unless some qualified associate of mine does them. So go ahead and do whatever he suggests, and then later we can go over this stuff and figure out which should go on the website, which can serve as raw material for something else, etc. For instance, one important thing well need for the site is a series of short essays on various elements of our philosophy and intent and procedures, or at least the ones that aren't secret.
The last of my dwarves just died so now I guess I'll finally sort through my e-mail and to-do list and find out what's been going on with the software and respond to e-mails from a week ago.

Clarky Warky has been sending me stuff about getting you to do stuff - and this is what he wrote:
*I would say collect everything that's findable, and decide what will be interesting to include thereafter.
Actually, if there is enough interesting material, Barrett could bundle it up with a long autobiographical essay and, for some of the pieces which drew written reactions from other writers, include the reactive writings (or Barrett's summary of them if the writers won't release them), and make a book out of it all. (For instance, in the True/Slant archives there should be an exchange of posts with Mark Adomanis which is combative, and some back-and-forth with a conservative writer who invokes the likeness of Johnny Rotten.)
But for now, I just see this as stuff to put on the website, which is, as it stands, srsly lame-ass.*
I've been google searching your articles and already have quite a few. Do you want me to just continue or do you want to do it?
