For those who are really caught up in the on-going saga known as the Google
Books Settlement (by far the best reality show now running) and the issues of

'Thank you' to all those that have taken the survey already. Since
its launch a couple of weeks ago we've had over 100 responses from

I'm (in)famous for my rants about our purchase order pads, which were printed
up in zillions in the mid-20th century and require carbon paper (which is damn
