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

September Spherians in LUPO's Autumn '18 Issue
Autumn inches in after a torrid summer and here to take the sting out of the season ahead comes Issue 43 of LUPO, with Spherians Brian Allgar, Melissa Balmain, Jerome Betts, Catherine Chandler, Maryann Corbett, Martin Elster, David Galef, Max Goodman , Midge Goldberg and Martin Parker, plus new members Damian Balassone, Janice Canerdy, Barbara Lydecker Crane and Bruce McGuffin.
Their topics include bar talk, dogs, ducks, dress sizes, insomnia, North v. South, plants ( house and invasive,) malignant marsupials, progeny, performance poetry, personal quirks, prostration, reticent giraffes, and tennis elbow.
Not to mention artichokes, bats, cats, cows, St Helena wirebirds and Slough among the many contributions from the unspherical, new and old.

Yes, this is a terrific issue. I'm still working my way through all the gems it contains.

Ditto, Gail!
Jerome, congrats on putting it all together--I hope lots of stateside readers take a break from their barbecues tomorrow to read it. Suggested Labor Day slogan: "LUPO: more fun than a cheeseburger, and zero calories!"

I've enjoyed reading around in the issue. Melissa Balmain's poem had me laughing out loud.

Many thanks Gail, Susan and Melissa (plus the contributor cast of thousands - well, nearly fifty anyway). Glad you've enjoyed the issue, though I know to my own cost that tennis-elbow is no joke.

Jerome, sorry to hear you're a fellow sufferer. But wait--could this be an opportunity? After all these years working on opposite sides of the pond, is it time for a ... joint venture?

Melissa! I didn't realise you harboured such . . . tendon feelings.
(Well, at least 'tennis elbow' sounds more dashing than 'washerwoman's elbow' which it was once apparently called.)
