Hi Fragilis.
You're right about the University - we've been unable to look after it as well as we'd hoped. My excuse is that Anna went on maternity leave but Chris didn't start until two weeks later, so I was doing my and Anna's jobs for two weeks, two weeks that also saw quite a bit of unrest in the Community which required a lot of attention.
However, Chris has now started, and next week he's been tasked with taking on the University scheme and getting it rolling again - and then looking at how it can be improved and developed. This may take a little time, but it's right at the top of his list of priorities.
Here's hoping that helps to lift the University up where it belongs!

Fragilis - h2g2 Cured My Tabular Obsession Posted Jul 6, 2001
You know, Mark, I'm beginning to think you're this column's biggest devotee. 
You needn't worry about excuses, you know. I think the disorganization is perfectly understandable. I hope you understand that I felt obligated to report on it anyway.
When things get tidier (and I'm sure they will), I'll be sure to report on the marvelous improvement.
Excuses. :-)

Muchas gracias, fair Fragilis, for spotlighting the University this week. I'd been grousing about the fact that no Brits had signed up to help balance the project on the US Revolution, and now one has... no doubt, due to your coverage here. 
Excuses. :-)

That's marvelous news, Colonel Sellers. I feel my time typing up that part of my column was well spent, then.
I have a similar problem with my project on Sexual Orientation. Everything who has dropped by to comment has been bisexual and/or polyamorous! While it has turned out to be a very interesting way to meet people with like minds, I do worry that the project will meet with resistance when brought to the public at large. I have no way of knowing, have I?
Excuses. :-)

Well, Chris is meeting with Peta tomorrow to do the handover from her to him, so expect great things soon - and if nothing appears to be happening, head on over to Chris' Space and pester him!
