It is useful to try everything in practice anyway and I like that here it’s always possible to find something new.

And yes, that was a real spammer whose comment I just mutilated.

Felt cheap. Felt good.

Hello everyone
Do not miss your chance to get a free ipad. [link removed]

Dear Michelle,

Firstly, you told a porky-pie, a patent untruth, a tarradiddle. I followed your supplied link and ended up in an entirely unrelated corner of the Internet lacking merit and perhaps best defined by its sheer absence of free iPads. It was peering through into an alternate universe where Apple didn’t exist.

(Well, maybe you messed up the hyperlink. These things happen. In which case I apologize for suspecting you might be of the reformed-luncheon-meat variety of visitor. Let me know if it’s so, and I promise I won’t be proud of myself).

I appreciate the time you took to drop in here and leave a meaningful comment. Truly.

Everyone:

As you might have gathered by now – I sometimes get a bit behind with answering comments.

However, I do answer them all. Stick with me and you’ll get an incomprehensible, meaningless reply in due course. I promise.
