As long as we're still here. They can't drive us away even with their seeming technical incompetance. Maybe it's a great social experiment?

Hopefully, somehow, it'll go from POS to POSSIBLE.

There is an amazing body of work here...

......and while you're at it Larry can you come and retrieve Neil Young who is haunting the UK currently. Nice hat though, shame he should have retired a while back.

Can POS be spelt dyslexically as PPP ? Piss Poor Protoplasm?

I hope you appreciate all the time and effort that KIM Gamble (who may be you, but certainly isn't Padraig or V.Wolf) and the rest of us caring (ar)soles are going to to on Kims blog in aid of the

"Repair Larry Campaign".

It wouldn't happen in the 'real world' Geez - we'd just shoot you and sell the bones for pet food.

Late to the party but guessing you don' t mean Party On, Salon. Actually, whatever you meant, you've inspired some great responses. My thoughts are less sunny when it comes to technicalndifficulties here
