Extremely thin posting ahead

OK. It's official. California is nuts. They put me on jury duty. The judge asked that we (jurors) refrain from blogging and similar online discussion activities for the duration of the trial. With some luck this will be over by late February. On a side note I have placed comments on moderation due to some issues with SPAM and the fact that I was already having trouble keeping a close watch on the comboxes. I apologize for the inconvenience.
