Forget the Footnotes is back up again despite the attempts to shut us down. The critics were no doubt correct — the previous version of the blog contained far too many literal truths. As a result this version will contain only half-truths, ironic overstatements and tongue-in-cheek seriousness. If you find tongue-in-cheekery difficult to swallow, I suggest you stop reading right now.

Thanks to blogs, everything will finally be made public. Woe to all those whose lives cannot stand public scrutiny.
