Note that the general crapness is due to me never having made a website before and managing to knock that up in half an hour.

Yes, George gave me the tv frame bit. And, there are no letters yet which is why people are complaining. There should be the numbers 1 through 8 in a teletext changing styleeeee if you wait long enough.

I'm decidedly not happy about the ultra-plagiarism of my FAQ on the Alternative 'Zine website.

I know you thank the "people it's stolen from" - i.e. me - but I'd really rather not have it removed from my site and butchered in such a manner.

I think a link to the original FAQ on my site would be rather more in order.

Yes, my website still exists. Just about.

I'd like to clarify - I have nothing at all against the Alternative 'Zine concept, and think the site is a good idea.

I'm sorry if I sounded arsey, but it did give me a shock seeing all my stuff on there.

Oh I thoroughly apologise for this. Due to my general crapness I copied a lot of different 'zine infos into word and kept the best bits. I thought I had checked with all the writers and they had said ok, but obviously not. I was also like a million percent sure that I had linked to your site but I was mistaken. I hope I've fixed it all now. It should be but please tell me if it isn't, I've been having huge problems trying to get the edited page to appear.

Apologies again, I'm really sorry.

Dismantling a person is sometimes necessary...

Fi, if you sort out the Alternative Mega-zine, I'll dance for you.

I hope some day, for some reason, David Duchovny is investigated by the FBI. Because that would make a great story.

Do you mean 'Witch'? And is that directed at me?

I can say for sure that you never get used to people telling you they hope you get burned.

I've forgotten about it many times, then re-remembered again... There are many people willing to help/palm stuff off to.

the hoopiest of all the froods

I'm sorry to announce that I am going to have to give up on this, for the moment, I did have it all ready to go and was just waiting for my health to get a bit better so I could update it regularly before I started. However, if anything my health has got worse, and the final straw was the other day when I tried to log into my accounts to get it all sorted and found out they'd been deleted through inactivity. So I'm very sorry for getting your hopes up, and if anyone else would like to try and give it a go, I encourage them all to just go for it.
