Just a bit of a correction: at Spoke all we do is check people's names and job titles to verify that the information we have already gathered from public sources is accurate. Any information that someone chooses to upload is theirs and theirs alone to use. We do not publish anyone's phone number or email address or physical address. Go look it up. Check out the information on your profile. It will have the corporate HQ address and the main number for your company. If this isn't true, please please call me a liar. Shout it. Post it. We deserve nothing less.

I'm in favor of saving everything... whales, hangars, spare change. That said, have you ever been inside one of these things? I was in one near Tilamook OR and it was wild. They are so big they totally warp any sense of perspective you might have. For that reason alone it should be saved. [Insert obligatory "if we can spend $X billion a month in Iraq why can't we spend X% of that on something useful or fun" comment here.]

An invaluable resource for those of us foisting pratchett on others many thanks.

I'm beginning to think Hat Full of Sky and company are my favorites in the series. They may be aimed at "young adults" but they feel morally weightier than many of the "adult" books.
