A couple clean-up questions:

MarkTAW: I think you made a couple of comments that indicated you still have some sort of moderator access.  There was something about seeing comments in the queue.  Is that the case?

Anyone: notice the new name on "Your Hosts" ?  Is that Stephen Jones from Sri Lanka?

I made a comment about what now? I have no moderator access.

How did you know Stephen Jones was in Sri Lanka?

Why would it matter if he was?

And yes, I did notice that there are now three moderators.  That didn't take long, did it?

Although I've really enjoyed Mr. Kallal's posts.  They tend to be very complete and informative.  And not TOO long, though more wordy than most.

Oops, now that "www.crazyontap.com" is my default access to this site, it seems to have forgotten my "full name" entry.  I've put my name back in, and that should fix it.

Hmm.  Off by one error, there.  The link auto-hot-buttoned itself, but included the closing quote.  Tsk.

I'm still amazed that this:

Made it through...  here it is in case it's deleted in the meantime:

"so, this isn't necessarily about champaign per se, but smaller cities in general. our host, eric, has written about the benefits of being in champaign vs. boston, nyc, silicon valley, etc. cheaper real estate, little traffic, less crime, yada yada. however, i have one question. this may sound a little juvenile, but, can i get laid in champaign? i guess i'm only half joking. my experience with smaller cities is that the majority of people are married by 24 and parents by 26. i mean if i can buy a nice house for not much money and have a short stress free commute, what good is that if there aren't any available ladies? the corn fields aren't going to keep me warm during the winter."

>>> How did you know Stephen Jones was in Sri Lanka?
>>> Why would it matter if he was?

I think he's said as much... I was wondering if it's the "real" Stephen Jones, the one who did sometimes participate in the den of evil/psycopathy known as ?Off

Funnily enough I pointed Stephen at ectopia (& later here) when I was trying to contact the ?Lost.
