People are basically anonymous on the web...they don't have to enter their real name anywhere (though, a skilled computer person can figure out who someone is by following their aliases, usually) so that gives them no pause in being rude. At least, that's my guess.teflaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12858992182120624497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-90687772005625129812010-05-13T12:47:34.681-07:002010-05-13T12:47:34.681-07:00I looked up FGFR3 at the site below, and I'm g...I looked up FGFR3 at the site below, and I'm guessing that the objection is to the gene being turned off. It looks like the gene being overly active is what causes the problem with Ethan. However it looks like normal gene activity is required for normal growth. If the gene is completely turned off, you get other problems.<br /><br />http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/gene=fgfr3Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830537391549938329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-44893711007946156382010-05-12T18:14:21.174-07:002010-05-12T18:14:21.174-07:00That was a typo.

You *ARE* lovable and adorable. <br /><br />The Portuguese / Spanish one can be translated if you use Google's Babelfish. Simply copy and paste, then choose from the drop-down list of the "To" and "From" languages. <br /><br />I predict that the writer either feels the same way that Ned does or is interested in your assistance in moving monies out of Nigeria.<br /><br />Finally, there's nothing wrong with the sentence...unless the writer who complained about it is named Ethan. Then, well, yeah...I gotta side with him. You called him a mess of cells. Which, now that I think about it, is TECHNICALLY accurate but not necessarily flattering. <br /><br />Your "mess o' cells" buddy,<br /><br /><br />LouLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342058116648613627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-25430926615636544352010-05-12T12:12:32.528-07:002010-05-12T12:12:32.528-07:00Just remember how much the rest of us would love t...Just remember how much the rest of us would love to get fan mail then let it slide. Frankly, I wouldn't bother responding to people who have nothing better to do than criticize individual lines in your (already published) story.<br /><br />Re: "bounced out". I've always understood it to mean that the reader has paused his reading of the story to ponder the sense or intention of a word or passage. It's not always a bad thing. Evocative passages, humor, or exquisite word choice often "bounce me out" to make me think about them before bouncing back in.Neal Holtschultehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887759417884373192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-58427444526291225352010-05-11T19:56:58.669-07:002010-05-11T19:56:58.669-07:001.

You could explain that because you live in places like Rochester and Seattle, you don't know what POC actually look like :k<br />2. That also explains why you can't tell Spanish from Portuguese :t<br />4. If "Ned" sees your answer to this comment, he'll know how cranky you can be! :pqiihoskehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729684109780848463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-29284807727712218142010-05-11T16:37:34.331-07:002010-05-11T16:37:34.331-07:00Answer like this, Nancy:
