  I think the impact of comments has been diluted a bit. Back with the old design, my rubbish comments stood proudly in the center of the page. Now they're off to the side and softer...it's not the same (whimpers off and kicks a stone on the ground).

  Looks like the 40 billion will be approved, distributed to struggling small and medium-size business, and then most of it never seen again. Ishihara said he will take the responsibility for that. And then he will be voted in again (if he wants it) cos the cowardly public envy the…

  誰でも良かった is looking like the new phrase in 2008. Pity it can't be squeezed into one character to make kanji of the year.

  WJT - I think the missing function is one of the reasons why posts are way down. Another being the shocking new format will take time to accept. And a third reason being many of the stories didn't have their post history brought over. And finally the shocking new format.

  Why bring back the latest posts function, when instead you can have people clicking around a whole lot more to see new posts (i.e. increased page hits)?! I know what you're up to JT.

  It's been this way for a while now, but has gone up another notch since Pluto was given the boot.

  Wind speed has gone up to 10 miles per hour, whatever that is in the metric version (and incidentally the system that Japan uses). If you keep this most important of information in the imperial system, then there is a risk I might pilot my dinghy boat incompetently into a…

  What happened to this Nessie?

  "I'll be back in a week to see how things shape up. Thanks for all the good times, JT."
