"hmmmph - I posted a sarky comment about distilleries - and Our Leader e-mailed me to explain why it was disallowed! even worse, since she e-mailled me I can't access the blogs through the main pages - there's nothin to click on. I had to do a search through google to access individual pages. (you can tell I have time on my hands this weekend!!)"
