You broke your HTML when you wrote "MEANING: We can't say this enough: ALL WANK BELONGS IN"

One more thing, as I don't have the stomach to read this all right now: I really wish they had left Frank out of it at the end and not tried to be all cutesy, buddy-buddy. If you're making a business post, just make it. Don't try to be Brad Back In The Day. The spark is gone, lover.

Gaaaah. Is fix now. In all four journal sites gaah. I used "lj-comm" instead of "lj comm".

Have you seen Brad's sneering post? Wow. I guess money DOES make you an asshole.

P.S. I like your jokes. Sometimes laughing keeps you from crying.

Shirley that should be "Novy Eljay".

elfwreck December 5 2007, 00:11:11 UTC

Depends on whether Eljay is masculine, feminine or neuter.

*quickly googles for justification*

Moskva is, umm... whatever gender gets "nova" instead of "novy," and since Eljay is now owned by people ruled from Moskva, it's the same grammatical gender.

Yeah. That's my story, an' I'm sticking to it.

You win :-)

Nice synopsis! And given the reaction of the Russian LJ users and the well-known ties SUP has to the Kremlin, I think Brad's post is, well, naive and not a little disingenuous. Clearly, there are concerns that he is not addressing. It's NOT going to be the way it way, jackass. And I can't imagine that since you have been working with Russia LJ that you are not aware of the potential abuse by the government. The flagging thing? OMG!
