Hello World

So good to be back! 

We've been without electricity for much of the afternoon, thanks to some moron who took out one of the poles at the end of our street, so it's nice to be connected with the world again.

Then again, after reading through some of the stuff that's come down with the LJ flap, maybe not.

It does not appear that anyone I know has been "purged" (and I use the verb "purged" in the Stalinist sense of the word), which is good. 

I understand that LJ is just covering their corperate rear ends, but surely there should have been a better way to do this other than summary execution.

For shame, LJ, for shame.

ETA: If anyone's interested in standing up to be counted, go ahead and join
