We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: QOTD for Thursday March 13, 2008

The following quote is taken from Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 28, “Hukelsmay” Copyright (c) 2007 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved


“He became gradually aware of eyes upon him, and looking up, found himself the cynosure of a small girl who stood in front of him. She wore a neat apron, a cap, and an unexpected pair of spectacles, which magnified her eyes remarkably, thus intensifying her gaze. She wore a small frown, as thought not quite sure what he was.
“Bitte?” he said, employing that useful German word which effectively encompasses “please,” “thank you,” “I beg your pardon.” And “what do you want?” in a single term of politeness.
The little girl at once executed a bob, and peered at him with increased intentness.”
