Amazing, this technology.
Once upon a time, to reach the masses, a man had to stand on the hillside and bellow like a mountain gorilla. Now a man (or woman, to be annoyingly politically correct), can stretch out his arms and type a message to millions of people he doesn't even know and they can see the product of his intellect.
Fat lot of good it does him if he's a moron.

Two things I cannot abide:
+ Pathetic, bandwith-snorting, unfunny, unproductive, feelgood, "Look at me!" E-mail forwards. All authors should be shot.
+ Youthspeak, Netspeak, Ebonics, and every other drooling journalism majors' term of the week. You're not creative. Knock it off.

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
