    My friend Mike Jones has lost his post Doggy. You should do the tight thing and share; Or are you going to do a Kevin and use Mikes post when he is not looking, and then tell the fat man from the hot tub and the newspapers and everyone except Mike about it?

    @ Dr Mick, I thought for a minute I’d been in one of those faster-than-light-neutrino machine things today. Posts disappear, reappear and then vanish again seemingly randomly. 500 seems to have been the nombre du jour.

    Fractious, we have the best press that huge money can buy at the moment. Check your phone; is it being tapped? are you being paid cash for comment? As the ownership of this site changes, the moderators serve their new master or mistress. It gets down to who is the biggest Gina, (rhymes with China), at the time. The Hadron Moderator is something to be unable to see

    @ MJ, fear not, we can see you now. Or at least as you were 4 and a half hours ago. We trust you are still with us, if not hope you’re having a lovely time and don’t forget to send us a postcard.

    Dr Mick tis the most odd thing. Posts written in accordance with all statutes, mores, statues and moles seem to slink off round the back of the bike sheds for a few hours, turn up late without an excuse then vanish again. And if my phone is being tapped does that mean there’s water on the line? Well done for spotting I am (by preference if not political persuasion) a cash-only sort and I promise not to say another word about it on receipt of a brown paper bag full of tenners.

    Dear Fractious et al autres regarding an unmentionable aspect of life lived in the here and now as we dogonauts truly know it…unexpectedly at me for trillionths of a millisecond flashing my own unmentionable script that disappeared again likely because I said shut up, this was yesterday [puzzles].

    A little information about ‘the problem’ especially considering the invested spondoolicks would be a wondrous thing.

    Prayer: I humbly beseech the unmentionable to not conspire with the bosses to drive dogonauts out of their minds.

    Look at it this way: The System will simply force us to be more creative in the Dogonaut Lounge.

    Outwitting any system is usually rewarding.

    I’ve solved the moderbation issue. It’s Kevin. Old Kevin masquerading as New Kevin. Meticulously checking every post in the dogonaut lounge, but working only business hours because he’s a changed balloon. Its alright to laugh and thank Gina we’ve got Firsty to help us do it. If you weren’t laughing you would be weeping hot tears of frustration at the rampant politics of personality that have eaten the soul of the last best hope to avoid an Abott government. Buckle up all, it’s downhill with no steering or brakes from here on in.

    Caricature fail on Julia, dog. She is a member of the Fabians, who proudly use the image of a wolf in sheep’s clothing to represent themselves as deceitful operatives covertly plotting to usher in socialism. Have a look at the Fabian Window and the ideology of these shadowy radical socialists and remember that Gillard signed up to this stuff.
