Bill's Notes

[removed]

The Industrial Blog Editorial Board reserves the right to remove posts it considers ill-conceived, poorly executed, or otherwise not working. "Success" was all three.

The Editorial Board considers the best use of the "Success" post is to melt down the words into their core constituents and try again another time, when the inchoate ideas and themes presented in that post are more focused.

Thank you and happy reading.

Did you make up the gorilla poetry yourself, btw? I thought the concept funny.

Oh, that one.

I think you should reprint the entry in concordance form, listing all the words in alphabetical order with word counts. Then, as you re-use the words, you can remove them from this "word pool." When all the words have been re-used, the entry will be completely gone.

Those were song lyrics by Warren Zevon. As far as the post, as Samuel Johnson might have said, some of it was good, and some of it was original. what was good was not original, however, and what was original was not good.

Good idea, Harry. It's important for words to be recycled instead of being thrown out after use.
