A little while back some idiot left a stupid comment (now deleted as it keeps on bringing the idiots out from under their stones) on an old post, and you can see my response. Then a few days ago three more comments arrived right after each other, here they are:

All three came from the same IP address and gave the same e-mail address Both IP and e-mail were different than that of the original commenter, but the original did include the word ‘australia’ in his e-mail address, something that isn’t visible to other people on the site, so where did the Australia business come from in these follow up comments? I have an aussie stalker with a split personality. Or a group of dumb aussie school kids using my comments to play silly games with each other. Oh boy.

It’s one of those funny but not especially surprising things that fan activity for some well established shows is more creative when the show is off the air and loses momentum somewhat when new material is actually being produced.

Just as a new TV season starts in the US, the first second (bugger, things never sounds as good when the facts are right) without a new Star Trek series for nearly two decades, so two lang standing stalwarts (what I suppose we’d call BNFs in other circles) of treknical fandom produce new material. David Schmidt’s Strategic Design produces a new range of blueprints and Eric Kristiansen releases a new edition of Jackill’s Volume One.

Well, I’m excited even if you’re not.

Tomorrow I turn 33. To celebrate I’m going to drink some beer. I bet no one’s ever done that before. Barrow Boy and Banker, 6:15pm. Come along and wish me a happy birthday if you like.
