HOST: Tess, assuming deletion was yours, you must forfeit today’s tweets. Penalty would be more deserved elsewhere but those are the rules1:34 AM Jul 13th from web

HOST: Bios will soon be posted (at least the ones I’ve received). Dealing with some formatting glitches, which I hope to resolve shortly1:36 AM Jul 13th from w

HOST: Just posted bios. Still waiting for Omar, Rhae, Isis, and (no surprise) Fyor.2:19 AM Jul 13th from web

ISIS: Coco, in “Mountain of Silence” by Constantine’s father you can read about fasts of Orthodox Russian monks on Mt Athos. Gospodi Pomilui1:11 PM Jul 13th from web

RHAE: I wonder, Host, whether the ruling that Tess forfeit today’s tweets is more a case of us serving the law than the law serving us.1:36 PM Jul 13th from web

RHAE: Laws that cannot bend to accommodate changing winds will eventually break.1:43 PM Jul 13th from web
