Politics is the art of deceiving populations with promises. It's meant to slow a prey down in just enough time it takes to s***w it by both ends and leave it with nothing but its sorry little life.

I spent about 45 minutes waiting for my train, with no info at all on when the train would be... And i'm hungry !
I remember a time when at least the sncf respected the timetable they gave when on strike....

Good grief. Nothing but troubles. Sorry, Zee. To minimize transmission times, I suggest you send your posts using the new eleventydecimal bit package compression thingy that Montsnmags Enterprises developed. You may find it more efficient than your standard ASCII. Although I hear it can be hard to read. And occasionally bananas may shoot out from your monitor and/or keyboard.

You'll also need to get the add on usb eleventy numeric keypad you have to have in order to encode your posts properly.

You take a few weeks off of MR to deal with health issues, ie. surgery, lymphnode infection, pulled muscle in your "working" arm and another round of oral surgery, and all hell breaks loose!?!?! I had no idea those pesky publishers were coming out with a new pricing model. I feel like I've been camping in the wilderness :shudder: for the past 2 months. It just goes to show how fast things can change.

Yup, you've spent entirely too much time at the body shop.

Do you get better mileage now?

Hey Kaz, welcome back! We tried to tell everyone to hold off on major changes while you were incommunicado but there were these skwirrls, then the otters stopped by, followed by the blue one, not the snarky one, the one next to the fish. Anyway, all hell broke loose and we couldn't contain it .... so here we are.

thanks vr, i'll look into that. it's got to work better than my current setup. i don't know how many people are on this same wifi account but sweet fuzzy squirrels it's like being back in dial-up days. (well, okay, not quite. but almost. it's a lot slower than i'm used to, anyway.)

KAZ!!! Good to see you posting! Yeah, the publisher thing is a great big fat hairy nuisance. And unlike the sqwirrelllls...we can't seem to find a way to fight them. I suggested trebuchet to France, but Zelda didn't like that idea... *ducks and runs*
