ChR!s H@rR!0tSalut! will be unusually quiet until later in the month. I am off on holiday - to Malaysia - and have left nothing timed to appear in my absence.
This creates a wonderful opportunity for the cretinous international spamming community, led in most recent attacks on Salut! sites by the energetic but hard-of-thinking folk at Coachbags MVP* - feel free to send them sharp little emails at this address - to post some more of drivel masquerading as "comments".
It is a pain having to clear it out, but I would rather accept that irritating inconvenience than close the site to genuine readers who really wish to post relevant thoughts.
* in a typical recent attempt, in fact one of a series of attempts, to leave gibberish disguised as comments, Coachbags MVP wanted to dump this sparkling prose in response to a piece at Salut! Live about the BBC folk music awards:
LJ, I didn't discount anything. I already said upthread that the Puritans and the Quakers didn't celebrate Christmas, and that the Presbyterians didn't either for awhile. I said nothing about their size or influence. I stand by my statement. Dr. Sci can speak for herself, but she approvingly cited a teacher who told her that "American colonists didn't celebrate the holiday." That's a broad blanket statement. And a false one. Factually so. And that's the problem with broad blanket statements, no? I really think your criticisms are misguided and misplaced.
