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 Friday, November 23, 2007

The following quote is taken from Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 22, Shame. Copyright © 2007 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

"'Did you ever wonder what it's like?' he asked suddenly. 'To be flogged?'

Grey felt a clenching in his innards, but answered honestly.

'Yes. Now and then.' Once, at least.

Percy had been kneading one of the red baize bags, like a cat sharpening its claws. Now he let it fall to the floor, and took up the cat-o'nine-tails itself, a short handle with a cluster of leather cords.

'Do you want to find out?' he said, very softly.

'What?' An extraordinary feeling ran through Grey, half-fear, half-excitement.

'Take off your coat,' Percy said, still softly."
