Apparently in Colorado, USA, though, the rain came down pre-owned until 2009 ... now you just need official permission to catch it.

Don't try it in Utah, though, or Washington State!

Well, I heard that a few years ago in Germany they tried to overtax wind and solar generators, the Green Party blew it to the press and the subsequent upheaval nearly destroyed the government.

You guys are killing my faith in western civilisation. I'm obviously very naive in this respect.

There are alternatives...
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.

Nawhh! You're just an unquenchable optimist cheering up the rest of us semi-depressed conspiracy theorists. Continue. :P
Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

I'm hoping/presuming CSOTB is referring to the baby-slaughtering, destroyer of worlds that is Amazon.

Oh t*t's I have caused horror, I'm sorry! I made one small oblique statement and created a whirlwind of RAH!
Admittedly I am a bit thoughtlessly eccentric at times (some people commit crimes, I just spout bull, each to their own).

Still cutting through the fog of my slightly banana'ed psyche for just. one. second. This is a press thing not a money thing.
Drew has given, as we all have. The difference is his form of giving attracts others. Which is good! His is the beaconing hand.

For oxpers, modders, crackers, hackers, fixers, coders and painters (to name but a few): ours is the candy!

No one sees the candy without being beguiled by the beaconing hand first. So we KEEP the crowd, Drew helps DRAW the crowd in the first place.

The rules of one do not and cannot apply to the other as their method (and results) are different. :)

I note that you have written beaconing rather than beckoning as would be the norm - even if this wasn't intentional it is a serendipitous quirk of the English language that I prefer in this context!

I have never, and will never turn down the ownership of fluke that masquerades as genius or genius disguised by an assumption of fluke.
