I recall noticing the internet just a bit after the war – surely an effective slapdown requires something more than speculative petulance, Sacha? Though I must say I didn’t see Giovanni’s comment as much of a slapdown at all. Perhaps I’m insufficiently po-faced. (I was sufficiently interested by his comments on the Hobbit farce to download his thesis a while ago. But whatever.)

Apropos your response about thirteen hours ago, I suspect any comment I might make about cinematic music might not be such a good idea. Look where talking about coffee got me. Apart from having pretty much lost interest in film music myself, I might inadvertently come up with some moderately well informed observation about the behaviour and ethics of various visual media private and public imperia, and run the risk of pissing Danielle off even more than I seem to have already.

Cheers.

Well no, actually. I thought PA had a little more to it. Than, eg, plonking about coffee.

Rather belatedly caught up with the Starbucks 'debate'.
It matters? Coffee? Coffee matters?
it seems when it comes to plonking, your average PA subscriber is on a par with Nathan Field.
