You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

The Buffistas favicon has appeared in my favorites for the first time. It looks really good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

CVS itself has acted as a block to development

What's transparent to you is the jiggety jig jig Jon and I did around each other when he was coding and I was spot-fixing. Lack of CVS also acted as a block to development, and in addition to that, could undo or break bits of development in progress.

Zoe, who is this Nora you keep talking about?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Zoe seems to believe that Nora (Diedre, I'm assuming) did "database checking".

Mathair & Athair beo.

Whoever she was who posted to say she had been helping out with the databases.

Zoe, you're mistaken. There was no "database checking", and as much as I love both help and Nora, the two didn't intersect.

You'll have to make the thesis of your Nora Fan Club something different, I fear.

OK. Someone did make the claim over on People's Forum. I didn't realise it was contraversial. Shall I retract the applause?

Could you provide a link to the post you're referring to? I don't remember seeing it.

Mathair & Athair beo.

No. I checked back to try and find it but couldn't. There is one deleted post which could be the same one.

I didn't halucinate the post, I recall reading it.

What is the point I am missing here please?

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

The point is that ita does all the database work.

Which could, in itself, become a problem. Not that ita isn't a goddess, but that, as the demands of the site grow, ita can't scale.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Not that ita isn't a goddess, but that, as the demands of the site grow, ita can't scale.

I suppose clones are right out...

ita, does Jon have the keys in case of emergency?
