The Daily Teaser — 16-8-2013: Thank God It’s Friday … !

Oh, hang on … !

I have to admit, I’ve got last night’s episode of Star Trek: Enterprise on.

It’s all very exciting stuff.

The crew are chasing down a bunch of Osarian pirates who’ve nicked quite a lot of the ship’s fuel and supplies.

As it turns out … ?   The pirates ALSO know a few bits about the Xindi: this season’s dastardly enemy, who’ve been dastardly doing dastardly stuff for at least a fortnight.

And managed to get Captain Archer really cross … !

Like I say, it’s ALL very exciting …

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
