I, of the _truly_ unspellable, unpronounceable name, have been retained as Second by the venerable Alfvaen, who as Founder of the Church of Azpiazu, Speaker, Scorekeeper, Registrar, Financier, Archaeologist, and Undead-Harfer is the worthy and honourable recipient of the Edam cheese for which eir plaid-clad opponent so pathetically laboured. E wishes me to convey the following sentiments to The Gingham Smoker ad infinitum: you can knock em down, but e'll just get up again. You're never going to keep em down. I spit on the gingham glove and thump TGW with a tub. Alfvaen and I await the wretched bannists on the field of Ghost, where e will devastate the anti-Chumba heretics in a rematch of January's Duel. We'll be singing when we're winning. - -Hubert I poured Spot remover on my dog.

Hmmm... according to the Postal Code, even acka-research is a public forum, just unusable for game actions. Even the private lists are, implicitly, public fora.
