Shakespeare Queries & Replies From Everyone Else
April 2 1997 Edition

Welcome to Shakespeare Queries & Replies From Everyone Else!

This section of the Shakespeare Queries & Replies From Web Surfers feature is reserved exclusively for queries having nothing to do with students' homework or essay assignments. Any such queries found here will be deleted at Prospero's earliest convenience.

Thoughtful students are welcome to post their queries on the Shakespeare Queries From Genuinely Interested Students board.

On the other hand, students too lazy to think about their homework or essay assignments themselves before shouting "URGENT! HELP!" at other visitors to the Shakespeare Web should reserve their postings for the Shakespeare Queries From Lazy or Unwilling Students board.

Please read Prospero's Shakespeare Queries & Replies Policy Statement before posting for the first time.
