I have to say, I really didn't understand most of Roxy's post, but it seems to be centred maybe on drama and I try to avoid that (unless I'm inadvertently creating it) so maybe I don't know wtf I'm talking about. Still, it doesn't seem to me that the place has changed radically over the four years (crap! Four years???) I've been here now.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to start preparing Crime Month and write a long article on Gilbert O'Sullivan for my journal...
