There’s always 2012, busch.
I’ll let you come back and look at this comment again this time next year.
Hi Jason
Thought we oughtta go offline, the online version of ‘step outside : ) I just wanted to make the point that if you look at the responses to that RT site you posted on Twitter they were pretty low level, even disagreements. Low level responses mean a lame site. The sites that are a worry have ongoing pseudo-intellectual banter bouncing back and forth from multiple posters. Can’t imagine the serious ones are out there for the public ot gawk at though.
