Q&A
- Q: Why is there an 'x' in Quinxy? - josie74@
A: It was a typographic error that stuck. The 'c' and 'x' are next to each other on the typewriter, and the error was too intriguing to be corrected. - Q: I like what you say, but I'm not sure I believe everything you say. - bill.rudland@
A: Good! I do not believe it all, either. - Q: Where can I buy or download the translated poems of Taras Zaitsev? - ma@
A: I haven't gotten around to putting them all in one document. If there's enough interest and I have enough time perhaps I will. Glad you like his work, too! - Q: Are you single? - rita2002@
