This weird sense of persecution on the neverfly(*) side of the question baffles me. Shag started a train of thought. Some of us thought it was a good idea. Others thought it was a terrible idea. We argued about it. Who exactly is being made to shut up?
(As usual I missed all the fun stuff with bodily fluids. Did anybody film it?)
I'm also interested in Doug's implicit distinction between those who 'know something' and those who don't. Somebody give me a list of who falls into which category, OK?
