An important note from Margo Kingston:

Webdiary will close at midnight until Tuesday. Please minimise comments after midnight so I’m not faced with too many when I log on again.

1. Hm. ‘Too many’ comments would require… too much thinking?

1. Oh, Rebecca, that’s NEVER a problem for Margo!

1. She doesn’t like to write it, she doesn’t like to read it, and she gets paid $4000 per month for it. No wonder she’s a leftie – they think it’s perfectly OK to get paid for doing nothing.

1. “Screw you, you ugly hag” is a minimized comment.  Just trying to help.

1. Is she going somewhere? Why is the place closing?

1. *initiates Margospeak*

   Let’s defend our democracey and freedum of speach by telling our 47 redaers not too post to many coments to WebDairy.

1. I’m tempted to go post “no comment” but that might be too subtle.

1. “Please minimise comments”

   I tried to. But when I minimize it, I can’t see what I’m writing. All I can see is that little window header at the bottom of the monitor.

   Hey, maybe that explains Margo’s mispellings. Right-click Restore, Margo!

1. It would be a good time to thank the little people.

1. I think she’s literally stopped the comments function. Unless she’s banned me, which is more than possible. I’d say likely.

1. Now that Margo is a captain of her own industry she has awarded herself extended leave, 4 day weekend, serious chill time man, whilst the rest of us plebs are left to chip the weeds.

   And people call her stupid!

1. How can you post comments to a webdiary that is closed?

   Another example of one of the graduates from the Enid Blyton university’s cultural studies department showing here powerful command of the written word with little or no aforethought.

1. Whoops one “e” too many – HER. (my excuse is I am still getting used to the Imac-mini I just installed at home. Nyaaa.

1. Minimize comments? Does that mean we should use, like, just really small words?

   Ok Margo. No want work you hard. Not talk too much till you back.

1. Louis has just got a mac- mini!
   How ave you set it up? Is it part of a windows set up, with another mac,or on its poor little lonesome?

1. Funnily enough, PF Journey’s piece on China and India (to which Margo’s ridiculous comment is appended) is okay. I don’t agree with everything, but as far as analysis on Webdiary goes, it’s positively stellar. And then you get to the comments box. Australia’s foreign policy would be in better hands if it originated in the local zoo (the animals, not the keepers) than with this bunch of endangered species.

1. Tim, where would you be without Margo?  Tim without Margo would be like Austin Powers without Dr Evil, Sherlock Holmes without Professor Moriarty or Batman without the Joker.

1. Hanyu interesting piece in the WSJ (subscription) about how the chinese govt has been ramping up the capital value of their companies to the detriment of shareholders.

1. I just had to come back to this thread … if I put an “out of office” message on my work email that said “Please minimise emails so I’m not faced with too many when I log on again” I might not get the privilege to see if that request had been obeyed on my return to work.  Can’t the SMH afford to run the Web Dairy full-time?

1. Stevo Margo(t) doesnt want to spread the dosh around, its called being economical, comments should now be expressed in $

   Posted by rog2 on 04/22 at 04:07 PM • #

1. Tim, Margo has to be grateful to you.  You put her on the world map.  No one would’ve ever heard of her without you.  You deserve a cut from her salary.

   @evil pundit:  Does ‘u’ count as a vowel in ‘requested’?  Should you Minimization Engine been tweaked to make it ‘rqustd’?  Just trying to help.

1. Has everybody noted Margo’s request? Please don’t clog her inbox. Please let her enjoy the long weekend too. Stop posting or you’ll go blind.

1. No Comment

   An important note from Stevo:

1. She’s a lazy bint, simple as that. So she gets someone elseto write a provocative article, the SMH put a hyperlink on their main page, and voila, poor Margo actually has to put her bong down to attend to, shock, work duties. Its funny how people like Margo and Marilyn Shepherd have so much empathy for the average person, when none of them have to do what the average ‘Joe’ has to, a decent bloody days work.

1. It’s a virtual forum.  It’s not even a real place.  And the moonbats still can’t keep it open.  No wonder they believe in socialism.  They couldn’t run a newsstand on their own…

1. I love Margo but she deletes most of my posts.

   I am currently struggling with her latest position on drug smugglers….

   “Todd, the issue is not whether they did wrong, but whether Australia should have helped the Indonesians when the result could be their deaths by Indonesian firing squad”.

   You got to admit, it pays to routinely drive through Balmain to get the correct bearings on reality….lol

1. She’ll leave your posts up if they agree with her.  She’ll highlight them if you suck up to her.

   This is what she calls democracy and free speech – or as she calls them, deomcraci and free speach.

1. Actual importance of the note: zero.  Care factor: nil.  Maybe could do better if paid more attention in class, instead of admiring own navel.
