There Are Others Too Vicious to Live Among Piranhas

And those are the ones who always run the show.

Nefarious Mystery Reformatters at Large

Weird. Or nefarious. Or just normal, given the Heisenbergian indeterminacy of the behavior of internet software.

Howsoever... I just looked at this blog, which appears to command the attention of about 3.2 people galaxy-wide -- which is fine with me; I just like to talk to myself :) -- and one of the posts (the one entitled, "I mostly avoid politics"), was displaying as inexplicably reformatted in the fourth paragraph, so that the right justification (actually, I can find *nothing* to justify "the right," which makes it all the more spooky... ooooooh) was disrupted, and lines displayed containing only a word or two, followed by full lines, etc. It certainly hadn't been that way before.

Anyway, just for the consumption of my practically non-existent readership, if anything shows up that's inconsistent with my usual pattern of posting (abstruse, esoteric, gratuitously prolix, theologically Christian/Quaker and politically ultra-progressive, it might not be mine, but might be the interjections of evil web gremlins! :)). I've changed my password, but who knows what evil lurks in the interstices of the internet? Probably not The Shadow, but it could always be Lamont Cranston or somebody attempting to generate pop-up ads for unaccredited universities. :)
