Newsgroup worries 28 Jul 2008 Those who are getting very agitated, missing out on their Usenet fix of the group talk.origins, which has been dormant for the past few days, should know that Steps Are Being Taken.

Hi John, I haven’t worried about talk.origions for maybe 18 months, since Google “Blessed be it’s name” [joke] changed the way that the thread was presented.

We just moved to Baulkham Hills and I turned up to impress the neighbours on that bike – rotflmao. (signed) marc
