Wait a minute… are you suggesting that you can read?
Only between the lines 8)
As it happens, the perfect way to approach NCFOM. 8)
And a Happy New Year to you too Vic. 
Your daughter has taste (though many people disagree with my reading recommendations 
). After NCFOM I suggest The Road by the same author (but if you’re looking for a cheery saga in these chilly times, steer clear).

I`m already well down the, hint dropping road on that one 
Take care

Yet another thing to cause me to lament my current location.
Given previous reference to male-pattern baldness, are we right in assuming that we now have visual proof of the corporeal existence of a not-so-shadowy DMJ in a posterior view?
Mark
Rumours of my male pattern baldness (albeit spread by myself) have been greatly exaggerated. Or at least, the particular pattern is not so evident from behind. 
Does that mean the shadowy DMJ is still hiding shadowy-ly behind the camera?
Hang on a minute!
KB goes to SF and is off line for a period of time that seems to coincide with vic-k being “sick”. Is it possible that in some dark, cold, sinister part of the world that vic-k and DMJ are the same person? Notice that neither has provided verifiable identity to the larger community.
What a frightening thought.
Surely most frightening for David himself - the thought of being mistaken for Vic-K…
That is definitely not a picture of Keith, irrespective of male-pattern baldness! I’ve seen a photograph of him before (embedded somewhere in the product files), and the real Keith definitely has the Scrivener logo instead of a head. So if the man photographed in San Francisco isn’t the shadowy one, then he must be a passing fanboy.
Once again Siren has the unsavoury side of Life rearing its ugly head! Par for the course with her.
I feel it only fair to point out at this juncture, that: although, I, may be incapacitated by a strange Fluesqueish type malady, and, therefore, semi-housebound, Le D suffers no such encumbrance. He neither recognises, nor is impeded by geographical or ethical boundaries. Le D goes where Le D wants to go! He only has to want to be somewhere, and voila! he is.
Bearing that in mind, take care should you experience sudden chill, as you two swan around Expo SF. With his malevolent disposition, he could, without either of you knowing, bring about changes to the logoistic imagery emblazoned across the back of your t-shirts. Instead of Scrivener, you could find yourselves sporting images of fornicating hippopotamusesissisis.
How much more verifiable do you need.!!? jeeezz!! 
Do take care
Vic
I believe that I can now rest my case.
He is wearing a pullover disguise (rubber mask) so he can pass through the crowds as just another fan instead of having to fight off all the pavarazzi, do long and extensive interviews about the hot breaking news of SCR 2.0, to have to go on Moneyline and explain how he can charge for a product and his consumers demand he charge more, and to cut down on all the pictures he would have to take with everyone he does not know when they realize OMG! its KB! and then force him to accept large amounts of free beer and cheese puffs. (Not to mention all the women who would faint at the site of his logo for a head. Its like a beacon of long lasting stability!)
HIs self sacrifice to hide his true identity and to go as just another common serf is not lost on any of us. For that we salute him!
Oh yes, the Scrivener logo has people swooning in the aisles here. Everywhere we sashay, we here the sotto voce asides: “There they go! Literature & Latte! They say he created Scrivener with one finger while eating cheesy Wotsits, you know!” The drinks throw themselves at our feet and the girls are flowing (or is that the other way around?). Every day we are mobbed by ador-- Wait, it’s nearly 8am, time to wake up. Time to return to reality, where no one has a clue who we are.
Whoopie! I am nobody. This is good for me because “nobody is perfect”. This means that all of us who recognize you are therefore perfect.
Wait … how do we account for vic-k? There is clearly a flaw in my logic, but I am not sure exactly where. AmberV is perfect. Right?
Clearly, there is a flaw in your logic!
But where, my Lady…where?
I bet KB had a private talk with Jobs a few months ago and slapped him around about not tweaking the OSX Text Engine. That is why Jobs did not show up to Macworld SF because he feared the Wrath of the Logo Head KB for not heading his warnings!
Jobs hormone imbalance? HA!
Nah that was fear!
Because KB told Jobs that if he did not start better support of the OSX text Engine that he was going to make Vic-k move in with Jobs as his new pet who would follow Jobs where ever he would go…
Yarrggghh!
