        Hey, you said you enjoyed tagging, and that it was meditative... so surely you're nearing Nirvana right now, right? Maybe that's what the leaking ear is a sign of. :P

          Cheeky git! It has been strange having to switch up my moderation style though. I think it was @lou who said it's strange having to break the habit of reading every comment. Understandable with the volume of comments, but for some reason its something I'm mourning.

            Yeah, I have basically only been closely following what's going on in ~tildes ever since the wave started, since trying to keep up with everything is impossible now. Hopefully everyone is still behaving themselves in all the other groups. :P

            I mourn not being able to keep up with every single comment on the site anymore too, but I'm also glad I can't.

    I hadn't realized Saariaho had passed away. Sad -- 70 is young. She deserves a place in the canon of truly innovative opera composers.
