Look, I go away for a week to the Vineyard and look what happens:

1. someone replaces my "heavy conservationists" with "cracked monitor"

2.  life-threatening recipes for mayo-in-the-sun are bandied about without
adequate warnings

3.  poor Deb Bledsoe, who wouldn't hurt a cricket, is viciously attacked
(even though I never saw the derision, either, I know if Ken said it it's
true)

4.  the message limit is raised to 60 (and people complain about grade
inflation!)

5.  somebody let my cousin Tom Gray onto the BP list again, even though he
auto-flamed us without mercy

Who's minding the store?
