Where did you write your article.You could try putting it in PeerReview For factual writing.
You could also do it as a journal entry that way anyone thats got you on there pals list will also get what you put as a journal entry. Then your bound to get a response

The article went on the Front page on Wednesday (I.e. it's been through Peer Review, etc.) You'll find it at A1148096

I'm off to finish my journal entry. About time I wrote one (I'm having a bad day, and I usually take it out on the journal...)

Hiya wednesday its still early days im sure your get some response when people come across it. You could still put a journal entry with the link to it that way people will still going there.

> So whats the problem why you haveing such a bad day??

Users, microsoft, idiots, the usual combination.

To cap it all off, my parents are moving house next week. They are both retired, and the telephone company, who shall remain nameless pending libel charges, manage somehow to terminate their service today, and not on Thursday next week. (Speaking to my spies in engineering, there is also an order to terminate their service next thursday, which is correct, but a duplicate order to terminate today, obviously created in error (as the telecoms eng. said, 'You can't terminate a line twice, that's stupid..'). Just dial customer services and they will put it right.

Great, methinks, and tries that. I would have had more success performing a hysterectomy on myself (a feat for which I am anatomically ill-equipped). as the raving eejit in customer services, in the words of a recent usenet flame, wouldn't be able to find a clue if he stood in a field full of horny clues wearing clue musk during clue mating season while making the clue mating call.

In a word: AAAAARRRGGGHHH!

Meanwhile, it's late on Friday, and I have a different job to do tomorrow, being a betting shop manager down here in Portsmouth, and it's a football day too. Portsmouth vs Charlton. I refuse to get excited by football...

As you suggest, I shall go update my journal pointing at the quide entries...

With your journal entry.
