I think I know what's going on. For more than a decade
now, I've been spending a lot of time online, searching and
surfing and sometimes adding to the great databases of
the Internet. The Web has been a godsend to me as a
writer. Research that once required days in the stacks or
periodical rooms of libraries can now be done in minutes.
A few Google searches, some quick clicks on hyperlinks,
and I've got the telltale fact or pithy quote I was after.
