ThreeObtuseMules

I don't have a question (although I'll ask one at the end as per the rules), and I'm not so interested in Scrabble, but this is one of the best IAmAs I've read in a long time. Every IAmA should aspire to such heights.

First of all, OP's answers are insanely informative. I can't recall the last time I saw an OP answering questions so well for genuine fans.

Second, the OP comes across as a great person. His answers are salted with humour, he's answering just about everything thrown at him, and he's engaging with people. It's a fun thread to read.

Third, it's absolutely fascinating. As I said, I'm not into Scrabble, but I've read all his answers.

To my question (so I don't vanish into the ether): your vocabulary is obviously very large. Do you need to use a thesaurus when you're writing, or do you know so many words that synonyms come in waves?

That's a distinction I'd not thought of, but it makes sense.

I guessed you write for a living. Your responses are some of the most articulate I've seen in an IAmA.
