@kristjankaim is correct - this sure isn't Nabokov. Example: "Immortality of Dostoevsky’s art is unquestionable; his art will likely continue to live on." Wait... which is it?

Didn't read. Reading white text on black background is like staring into an oncoming car's high beams. Good grief this is bad formatting and people keep doing it.

Post makes errors around what nonprofits are and can do. (IANAL, but I do set up and run nonprofits for a living.) Error 1: "In the US, non-profits are heavily regulated in their o…

Had a similar experience with an ethics-free host. Support was execrable. So canceled my account and use VRBO or hotels. Don't understand how AirScrewYouAndB is still in business.

Yes. Moderation in all things.

Kudos! May I suggest ikiagi, the overlap between what you are good at (vocation), what you love (passion), what makes adequate money (profession), and what the world needs (mission…
