GG, thanks for those (duly noted) ironically redundant messages on the subject of "promotional" material and "redundant posts" that I somehow managed to briefly locate, read, memorize and attempt to respond to - only to find that your officious messages appeared to disappear/vanish/become impossible to locate/relocate before I had a chance to post my appropriately lucid response. And whether or not that techno-flummoxing was the result of some disturbingly inappropriate "real-time" shell-gaming, or even if it was simply attributable to an increasingly unreliable/screwball-esque technological toolkit, it was easily off-putting enough to drive this newbie out the door. But, just for the record, here's my non-commercial (for-free) response to your officious messages:
Redundancies: Other than a tiny, 6 second video (of the sound of a single pin dropping) that I was inspired to use twice, at no point did I duplicate any threads, "conversations" or posts - and I did indeed (politely and without having to be told, thank you for the officious scoldy-talk) post my "promotional" (ostensible quotes) information under the category clearly marked "self-promotion"...all of which, rest assured, is in good taste and (artistically ironically and/or piquantly) does not actually equate to anything remotely commercial or "promotional." Moreover, unlike my work in the field of anthropology, none of my non-fiction or graphic art has ever been literally published, advertised or "sponsored." Believe it or not, it IS possible to apply creativity and imagination simply (and ever so gosh-darned helpfully) to non-commercial endeavors, in the public interest, which is to say: In a non-heavily marketed/artificially "sponsored" and potentially commercially skewed/twisted manner. And how intellectually and morally vulgar is it to presume that all "artists" want nothing more than to promote themselves commercially? I cannot even begin to describe how intellectually and morally vulgar presumptions of that sort usually turn out to be, so, rather than be overly descriptive about such phenomena, it's usually best just to sit back and carefully observe and document the shear depth and variety of said presumption-based phenomena/misconceptions, if for no other (excellent and practical) reason than to learn more about the extent to which such inherently greed-infused intellectually and morally vulgar presumptions have become the statistical "norm" among neuro-typically cognitively banal, increasingly (measurably) morally hyper-selective "normies." Moreover the presumption that all Facilebook links are "promotional" is an insultingly unbecoming (with respect to officers), intellectually and morally vulgar misconception of a lamentably ubiquitous modern presumption that reveals much more about the burgeoningly large groups of humanoids who seem to be unable to resist making such quick-and-EZ intellectually and morally facile selectively greed-based presumptions than it could possibly reveal about any unfairly/inaccurately pigeonholed message board users, law-abiding citizens, innocent suffering artists suffering the indignation of the damned (the damned!!!), and all hapless victims of hyper-insensitive techno-bureaucracies/idiocracies. Also, technically speaking, although this charmingly literary website's user-interface is profoundly more tastefully and sanely user-friendly than (for example) Facilebook's notoriously insultingly interruptively exploitatively criminally insane FUBAR-ized user-interface - granted, not surprising when one compares the scary-low merit nature of Mark Zuckerberg to the scary (good-scary) high merit nature of the King clan - even the most reasonable and well intended user-interfaces may have their fair share of annoying and/or illogical foibles...such as (I suspect) inadvertently allowing users to backspace back through the posting process (in order to make changes or correct typos), and then clicking the post-button again...thus possibly resulting in the appearance multiple posts. Or not, as that was just a rough guess. Even so, as a brazenly sloppy and inelegant artist who naturally/hastily makes a lot of typos, a post-posting editing option would be (would have been...alas) nice, just for the sake of added overall error-cleanliness, form and clarity. So that's my three cents. Ha. Look at all that text - that may seem complicated but really isn't. Although, verily (for the sake of verity and variety), such observations may generally stand to be more complicated (and less like a tube full of eerily increasingly uniform Pringles potato chips), not less complicated.

Therefore and in conclusion, please enjoy this (royalty-free) recording of a dog barking in the distance...
