*        Hello, Mum!

†        It sounds like it could be serious, Olga: especially the memory situation.   I hope it’s not the frightening prospect.   (Terry Pratchett once said we find it difficult to name demons.   He was right: I found it hard to write the name of that condition!)

        At any rate?   I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you both!

‡        I’d love to hear your thoughts about it, though, Debbi!   Please let me know if you get the chance!

        Did you ever hear of a fantasy writer called Mercedes Lackey?   From what’s she’s written on Quora, there’s some sort of court judgement been issued, in the US: that means AI generated text or works, can’t be copyrighted.
