Hello, everyone! I have bittersweet news for you. I'll cut to the chase...

So, everyone, there was another unannounced site update today, which changed a few things that only impact me. However, it changed one thing that impacts all of us greatly...

Hi, all! I will keep this post brief, as I am on vacation, but please read it. It is very important. In recent weeks, I have cited a few people for use of copied work without permission. (This is an ongoing issue, truthfully, even though our copyright rules are posted all over the place.) If I have to...
