The Register might not be to your taste, but some of us find it a refreshingly irreverent and amusing read. Anyway they are getting some stick for becoming too corporate and bland at the moment which just goes to show how difficult it is to make people happy.

I understand why you might be sceptical but your comment has motivated me to decloak and respond. Fastmail really do provide an excellent product. Like many of the other commentators I moved over to them from Gmail and am very glad I did so. Sometimes things truly are as good as they seem.

As Admiral Cunningham said, when urged to call off his evacuation of British troops from Crete in 1941 due to the large number of ships being lost:

“It takes the Navy three years to build a new ship. It will take 300 years to build a new tradition.”

The evacuation went ahead.

The Guardian is probably the most often quoted publication in Private Eye's "Pseuds Corner", a regular selection of unintentionally amusing psuedo-intellectual writing.

Wonderful! Thanks for that.
