Robert Farago Left TTAC
He’s had it coming. Our Dear Leader finally received what he deserved: A vacation. With wife and kids, Farago goes to Disney World. Or Disney Land. Anyway, one of those Mickey Mouse metros. While our Dear Leader is away, our beloved Edward Niedermeyer is running the show at TTAC. 16 timezones away in Beijing, Ed is being assisted by yours truly. Which works out just fine: BS has the morning shift, then, Mr. Ed takes over and runs two shifts. Keep in mind, Ed is an Oregonian (sounds kinky.) Please indulge him, and grant him the extra three hours of sleep the Westcoasties deserve. If there’s a little less of the usual morning barrage of posts, do not despair. Ed will make up for it during the day and night.
Also of note: Our web servers are still acting up, sick from the China Syndrome. View counters won’t be back until “after Thanksgiving,” our resident Otaku promised. The site sometimes can be slow to react to your comments. Don’t worry, don’t double post: The comments will show up – after a (sometime excruciatingly long) wait. Same goes for Farago: He’ll be back. Then, there will be hell to pay.

@sexcpotatoes: Denied. No submissives allowed at TTAC. Company policy. Sorry.
Let the record show that in these troubled times Mr. Farago chose NOT to take the private corporate jet.
One other reason that post-delay is bad is that I can't re-read my post; can't even access it, so I cannot correct any spelling or grammar mistakes. As I said in an earlier post, "what" I'm saying may not be much in the big scheme of things, but I should at least be allowed to self-edit. When the post doesn't appear until the next day, that's way over the 60 minute time limit for changes. I never get that chance. THAT is the worst thing about "post-delay."
