I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Bodie, I have to tell you that Prince Albert's spirit is broken.  I told him about the number one song when I was born.  He asked what was the number one song when he was born.  I had to tell him that the site only went back to 1946, not 1942.  His face looked so crestfallen I didn't know whether to laugh or console him, so I gave him hug and laughed behind his back.

Update -  I went looking and found out the number one hit when he was born was Chattanooga Choo Choo by Glenn Miller.
