He is like unto the moon and stars. He is the wind under Mefi wings. He is as necessary as oxygen, and as desired as a 1945 'Hermitage, La Chapelle. He is a prescient paragon of panache. He has evolved eyebrows and compassionate shoulders.

I agree with the folks that think this shouldn't have been deleted. I understand that the OP may have been a little link light, but it is a link to the *actual legislation* that is about to dramatically alter the way the entire world does business.

There are also some links in comments that are succinct and informative.

Well, the power is still out in a lot of areas down south. The great grandparents house has been...well, not destroyed, but certainly isn't livable. I can only imagine that there's a lot of other people in the same boat.

Here's another offer of couch space for anyone who finds themselves needing shelter while the rebuilding begins. We've got dogs, cats and kids...but on the up side, I'm a great cook, and I'm really not too much of a bitch after my second cup of coffee.

My 5 year old really loves Spore...I'm finding it a lot less awesome than I expected, but I think that's primarily a result of all the prelauch propaganda. It's cool and all, but I dunno...I'm kinda disappointed.

The DRM is really the suck too.

five fresh fish said stuff about all those whinging kids getting off his grass, and I just have to say that no matter how many times I see the word "whinging", it always looks wrong.

But there has been a really high signal to whine ratio lately. Cowboy up people, sheesh.

"double comment": I think the apology is meant in the same way that you might say "excuse me" to someone if you've had to pass them more than once in theater row.

It's as though one were so quick on the trigger to add a comment, that one had not completely thought through all that one wanted to communicate, and therefore subsequent additions are prefaced thusly.

I didn't see what got removed, but for the record, many young women have never considered that guys might not find menstruation as icky as those of us who experience it may find it. After all, they're not the ones carrying Georgia's cotton crop in their purses. ;)

In all seriousness, I don't think validating the "Periods aren't icky to guys" meme is necessarily a bad thing.
