from the vault

Activists of the mid-1970s Australian clandestine CB radio movement gather at a secret location. The gentleman on the right, Tony X, had bright career prospects in the electronics industry so wished to protect his identity. The gentleman second-from-left, Ross X (not related), was given to living on the edge and wore his heart on his beloved Austin A-40.

One and only warning:

Kathy Farrelly has been dropping turds on the doorstep of our blog. We have asked her quite nicely (at first) not to do so, but now we have been forced to turn moderation on. If she comes back, ever, we will spam every blog we know that she has ever contributed to - obviously, including the blog where this message appears as comment, but 10* whatever she drops on us. Sorry - but not too sorry; blame it on Farrelly.

What a bitch, eh?
You know what, ID HOLM?
I think it was a bit of a mistake to pay any attention too her at all. She thrives on it. My guess is, that she would probably have tired of this nonsense had you ignored her.
Now that she knows that she has gotten under your skin... ???
Don't really think she is going to care two hoots whatever blog you spam..
It's all a game to her..

We asked her to leave; she doesn't. It's not a matter of 'getting under our skin,' it's a matter of ethics.

If you are so serious about your cause, why not post under your real names?

Or... Is it all a game to you.
Just like it is for me?
