Err... last Monday? 07/02/2005?

OK, not substantive to other posters, but I was worried stiff at the time.

Depends on the composition of the stone and what it is immersed in... pumice stones won't sink in the sea.

Substantive: something that has at least one actual fact or well-thought-out opinion in it.

Something that matters: News/politics/science/family.

For example, I post a lot of wordy posts about movies, TV etc... but that isn't something that matters. I post a lot of pics of Sophie, but, other than bandwith, they're not really all that substantive.

Not in a very long time. I try to keep my (few) substative posts away from anything which other people might take seriously, and my posts on things that matter away from anything that I might intend seriously.

Does poetry about relationships failing due to large and unsightly female genitalia count?

I wrote a very lengthy memo/email/note advocating a change in behavior for our compiler that's been bugging me for quite some time, that's now circulating around with great feedback. It required some hardcore research and structured arguments, they totally dig the status quo.

What's this talk of "friends/family"?
