Even this comment I'm making here, on the page of a fairly well recognised character in the whole narative, is itself another line of dialogue. If it makes any odds at all, I have no idea who Loren or Shel are, and having spen the last ten minutes peering at their tawdry slanging matches and purile puppet shows, I don't think I want to. Ben, thanks. Every so often I wonder if the big noises on the west coast are having the life I always wanted. It would appear not. I'm happy with my lot, and glad you are with yours. Enjoy the new toy. I’m not sure that the taking down of the theatre, along with all the hoo hah about it, isn’t still just another act in the play.

The Web 2.0 world is a small, self sustaining enclave which is often far from the real world of satisfied customers using your service. I couldn’t agree more.

Any wounds suffered in the late fracas have been largely self-inflicted. 99.999999999% of the world never noticed, and if they ever hear about this, will not care.

All the brown noses I've ever known from my younger years, and the ones I come across now in adult life, seem to have fruitful careers. Fuckers.
