I don't know if you all have noticed this (by "you all" I mean stick-users!), but a strange metamorphosis happens when you start "using"! I have become aware that I have been accepted into The Club - when I pass other stick-users there is a kind of secret nod and smile that says "I know how it is, welcome to the club", and where my office is currently based (where there are de facto lots of locks and keys) people (kindly) insist on opening doors and holding them open for me and I start, completely involuntarily, channelling Lady Bracknell and sweep through, regally waving my free hand, trilling "you are all very kind" as I sail galleon like into the next part of the building. Stick using - who'd have thought it was so complex?!
