Today I am remembering
The Emeritus Professor of Greek who asked me if I knew the meaning of the name of my own organisation (Allographic). He was very excited to tell me, even though I’d already answered in the affirmative, and in detail.
(I am also remembering quite how long it took me to launch the damned thing, because I spent so long agonising over the name.)
Enthusiasm I get. I grok with. Enthusiastically. Infodumping? Sharing nerdy passions? Absolutely. More of that please. This was, at best, unfortunate communication skills...
