LOL much nicer than my last response to a request for a fax
“Sorry, I have to hitch the horses to the carriage, so I can go down to the general store to use their fax machine.

@GeraNagelhout @academicchatter The editors will be perfectly satisfied if you give them the following fax number: 01-23-45-67-89 (and yes, they should be ashamed of that silly question).

@wolfgangcramer Ah well, we used to still have a question in our yearly conference survey asking if people would prefer a printed copy of the abstract book instead of the digital copy for the next conference. Was meant as a one-time question after going digital, but it somehow remained in the survey for a couple of years...

@GeraNagelhout @academicchatter pretty soon it will be “provide a Twitter handle we can use when we promote your article” and we will all have to answer “Twitter, who still uses that!?”
