Hot New Feature!

I'm slowly adding more features to this website. Last month I changed the format so that comments appear at the bottom of each article, rather than in their own page. Now your comments are much more likely to be seen.

But I'm not resting there. No siree. What I'm interested in is backwards-compatability. What if your browser is offline? Or not internet-enabled? Thanks to a quite complicated network of postal services throughout the world, you can now leave a comment no matter what.

To leave a special backwards-compatible comment, please print out the form below, write your message on it by hand, put it inside an envelope, affix postage-stamps and send it to:

  Leon Bambrick
  c/o PO Box 551
  Indooroopilly Qld 4068
  AUSTRALIA

I would like a response? [_]  Yes
                         [_]  No

If yes: I have included a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

I understand that my comment may be published online
and used for the purposes of marketing or blackmail.

Sincerely

I've updated the About page to include that address, so that generations of future Luddites can benefit from the miracles of postage.

Or if you prefer, you can use the on-line version... it's your choice....

also -- please note that unlike electronically submitted comments, postal comments are *allowed* to contain HTML!

what a boon!

So obvious yet so funny. You almost had me :) I suspect the lack of comments means others aren't too sure either! BTW is "Indooroopilly" a real place or is it an "in" joke?

comment (HTML not allowed)

All viewpoints welcome. But the right to delete any post for any reason is reserved. Don't make me do it. Aim for constructiveness. Comments may be republished, emailed to your loved ones or printed and used as toilet paper. Also, I get particularly nasty on comment spam. It's not worth even trying to post comment spam here -- your html is escaped, and your links are given a rel='nofollow'. By attempting to post a comment, you understand that if the comment is considered spam, at my absolute discretion, your IP address may be used as the target of a prolonged distributed denial of service attack. Your electricity might suddenly stop working. Your car tyres will go mysteriously flat. You will suffer permanent hairloss. Your dreams will be filled with terrifying monsters. And in any case I reserve the right to record and publish your IP address.
