Chemically. With lots of hissing and bubbling and a wisp of colored smoke.

I'm reading it myself, and the phrase "must needs" hasn't bothered me yet, although it is jumping out now that Contro mentioned it. The one that's bugging me is "many and more" which he uses a couple of times a chapter.
And if it's hats and lack of posts we're talking about, the Welcome Back Contro Party Thread has been sorely neglected - and you're here on the group and all!
And nobody else is! So they'll never believe me! I'm lik Big Bird and you're the Snuffalufagus. Except in e-appearance, I suppose, we're the other way around.
C@H -- Yeah.

Where has everyone gone then?! You'd think discussion forums like this would still be popular really. I guess with facebook having its own ones, people go there instead. Although when i checked them, they didn't seem to be a hive of activity!

Well then, you must be punished.

You're only making it worse for yourself!

You'd think so. I don't understand it, it's not like the book series
has died or ended yet. I guess the 'generation' that was using usenet
just moved on, and the young scallywags of today don't know how to use
the newsgroups. Too much text and thinking.
*glances at newsgroup history*
Well ... lots of text, anyway.

Never knew Facebook had a newsgroup or forum application. I think
discussion forums are just not what people today want. They went in
the web forum direction, and now just stick to the comments field of
whaever website they're reading. That way you don't have to read other
opinions or discuss anything, you just spout your own thoughts and
walk away.
