Heavens-to-murgatroyd even. Purveyor of fine fictionsuits, Mr Warren Ellis namechecks me during a Slashdot interview in connection to a post I made about notions of “haecceity”.

That’s it… Ne plus ultra. I can retire to a farm. Surely.

Except of course, like anything vaguely-clever I’ve ever said, some one else said it first. In this case, as would be the statisically-satisfying default choice, it was Webb who first mentioned haecceity.
