BTW

[letterblade]

I have spent most of the last week being sick as a dog, or at least a small puppy. Now that the stomach foo has started to clear up and I can finally eat, I seem to have spontaneously developed a chest cold.

I would like to register my strong vote of MEH about this, given that I'm still planning to hit IMA next weekend, and being Not Sick would be a nice benefit.

But that is why I've been, well, even more absent and even less productive than usual.
