Dear Unregistered,
Pardon this intrusion into your Eratosphere reading, writing, commentaries, and, ahem, all the other delights the Sphere is able to offer. But to keep it simple indeed, Eratosphere needs your help/sponsorship!
Ordinarily--and actually never before until now--I wouldn't post this personal notice to members outside the threads confines simply because there was more or less some measure of the much-needed assistance from usually a couple of handfuls--out of the hundreds active of the thousands registered--of very helpful members. But it seems things have fairly dried up--or rather, only a dribble remains--in terms of such help, even with the seasonal reminders where we bump the sponsorship threads, with as much restraint as possible, a couple of times or so throughout the year. I could go further, but I'd rather simply point you to the relevant assistance threads to read more or to interact with:
Thank you!
...Alex

Well, well, well. I went all the way there from the opposite side of the city and in the snow only to find that someone named Rick Mullen could not, in fact, come. So I read Rick's poem for Tim instead and talked a little bit about Tim but mostly just read what Rick wrote. Tim, despite being the opposite of me in so many ways, never ceased in his support.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Walter.
I really felt horrible not being able to get there, though I assumed Mary Ann Miller would have something for Tim in my absence. I'm really glad it was you reading my poem. I dare say it was better than if it were me reading it!
Really glad you came out.
Rick
