    Fix the damned punctuation

    Off Topics doesn't allow uploading/attaching of images. It's always been that way. I've often regretted creating a thread there, because a day or two later discovering I can't attach an image (and having to host something 'GOC only' on my website instead).

    Server Upgrade

    CGN has been back up for more than a day now. The new user interface is a bit of a pigs breakfast. For every good new thing, there are two bad things. One thing that GunOwnersOfCanada will notice is that because all the images are now going through a CGN proxy server, merely copy/pasting image...

    There is some irony that I posted a Rex Murphy article. then, because it was full of ?, I edited it to make it readable by people.
