Apologies for the fact that the site has been up and down in recent days (and may only be visible as pure text when it is up). It seems I have once again been under attack from people who do not believe in free speech or debate.
My email is in trouble, too, so apologies if you have emailed me in the past two or three days and not had a reply.

It has been suggested by Mr. Neil Clark that your blog has been down because you are on your uppers and haven't been paying your bills (I think he suggested that you might have lost it all on the ponies).
Say it ain't so! Quite seriously, over the last couple of years your name is forever cropping up when money is being discussed. "Pollard just made a killing on this," they say, and "Pollard has just bought the most gorgeous investment properties." I've even heard that on occasion you have been whisked to various places by Gulfstream. So I've kind of got used to the idea of Pollard the plutocrat and I'd hate to be let down now.
You seem to be back in full green techiecolour. Let's hope it lasts.

Rumour has it that Clarkie took out a second mortgage on his luxury (running water and doors) pied-Ã -terre in Belarus and paid the bill.
Seems to be working now. Stephen, are you sure you're not Joshua in another manifestation?
