I was actually wondering last night how much of those quotes get read...I tend to skip them quite a bit, but I do skim them to see if I can spot anything particularly relevant, which I often do. Sometimes however it won't be relevant for a long time...so long that one would have forgotten that fores...

There is only one thing to say about it...Chain of Dogs.

Thanks. :D And happy birthday to kevinswatch . :D Didn't realise our birthdays were so close. :D Well, you've only been here almost 20 years. You can't expect to notice everything all at once. I know, 4 more months...anyway, you should know by now I rarely pay attention to stuff that doesn't affect...

As for the rest of your post...suffice it to say...it's complicated. :D 1) Google paywall premium thing: This is not really to affect the quality of the search results you receive, but more to make use of their "AI Assistant" for your search, your emails, your calendar etc. (Bing already o...

Forgive my obtuseness, but are you going so far back as the transition from white rule to some kind of nominal democracy in S.A. when you refer to regime change? I hadn't marked you as old enough to have been around for that momentous transition. In fairness my recollection of the dates of these si...
