actually, you can make this stuff up, and that's the problem

I find myself writing increasing numbers of posts that delve so exhaustively (perhaps also exhaustingly) into my favorite topics that I restrict them, not just to friends, but to restricted circles of friends. Anybody who wants admission to this group is free to ask, if you explain why you're interested. If, of course, you're on LiveJournal and not just dropping by to read.

Happy Ecclesiastical New Year, by the way. In the Eastern Church, at least.
