    So, what do we do now that we're all here?

    Pick a discussion and wade in. Stir it up a little if you want. MWA rumble against the thriller writers? Naw. We'd show up with gnucks and shivs and their snipers take us out from 200 feet away.

    Thanks for the invite, Michael. Came just when I needed it, too. For a while there, I had come dangerously close to making good use of my time. Whew. Glad that's done.

    I have a cunning plan - As cunning as a fox that's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University? ... He twisted and turned like, like - a twisty-turny thing!

    Aaaahhh... Blackadder. What a top man you are for liking it.

    Blackadder! Coupling! Dead Again!

    You and I are going to get along just fine....

    The fact that I'm not a millionaire aristocrat, with the sexual capacity of a rutting rhino, is a constant niggle.

    Michael, thanks for the compliment. That feature you requested is one I requested from Ning quite a while ago. Good news is that it's supposed to be added within the week. :)
