For the 2 or 3 people that probably read me, my apologies.
I'm swamped at the moment - one paid project, one volunteer project, and then I have to find time to play with my new toy: a 14" iBook -- for OS X of course. I haven't even booted into OS 9.
I also owe leftyblog a response. I've written about 3 pages so far, but I haven't had time to finish it.
I read you, and I understand the busy. As for leftyblog and his "Politicians must do one thing only: win elections" - where to start with that one? Let's just say I agree with you - nobody gets my vote by default.
