DISCLAIMER: in my experience, the following doesn't apply to 99% of my readership. Unfortunately, experience also shows it has to be written down for the remaining 1%.
The short version, when it comes to my comments policy, goes down to a line taken from the (mediocre) second opus of the Matrix:
"I built this place. Down here, I make the rules."
Let's elaborate a bit:
AVERTISSEMENT : selon mon expérience, ce qui suit ne s'applique pas à 99% de mes lecteurs. Malheureusement, l'expérience prouve aussi qu'il faut que cela soit écrit pour le pourcentage restant.
La version courte, concernant ma politique pour les commentaires, se résume à une ligne tirée du second (médiocre) volet de Matrix:
"J'ai construit cet endroit. Ici, je fais les lois."
Élaborons un brin :
If you need further help with the site, you may want to check the Field Manual. Ultimately, you can also drop me a line. I usually don't answer jellyfish and buttermonkey(1) hybrids however.
Si vous avez besoin de plus d'aide avec le site, jetez un œil au manuel d'instruction. Au pire, vous pouvez également m'envoyer un mot. J'ai cependant tendance à ne pas répondre aux fruits de l'union d'une méduse et d'un cul de singe.

Apparently President Chirac read this and said to himself , ” If they don’t need us, fine. We’ll aim our missles at them . At least they won’t ignore us this way.” (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2003/10/28/wnuke28.xml&sSheet=/news/2003/10/28/ixnewstop.html) France is to enact a historic shift in military strategy by targeting its nuclear missiles on “rogue states” that have weapons of mass destruction, it was reported yesterday.(...) France’s Cold War goal was to prove its independence from America and Nato by having its own deterrent against Soviet attack. (...) ( How inconsiderate of Mr. Reagan to win the cold war. Turning the French nuclear umbrella into another Concorde. I bet Reagan doesn’t have many French fans.)[inserted by P] France is also looking at developing “mini-nukes” capable of destroying military installations without serious civilian casualties. ( I had the name Zaccarias Moussaui running through my head when I read this. Don’t make the mistake of building terrorist grade Nukes, Mr. Chirac, or you will find your self in a war.) In unveiling such a new strategy, M Chirac would bring France into line with America, which has said it might one day be necessary to use nuclear force against nations with weapons of mass destruction. ( ya? Since when? Who does France view as a “rogue state”? Israel? )

Germany and France are in the “axis” business? I thought we put a stop to that :-)

Disregard my previous post. M. Chirac you make all the nukes you want ... aim them at any Target (store) you want. We got you checked.http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptech/10/29/laser.cannon.ap/index.html [ The Nautilus uses a high power radar to track and lock onto the incoming projectile. Then a Mid-Infrared Advanced Chemical Laser (MIRACL), which looks like a large spotlight, shoots out an intense beam that destroys the rocket. ] [ The White Sands test marked the first time that a rocket has been destroyed in flight by a laser beam. The laser has also proved its ability to shoot down artillery shells. ] [ Israeli security officials said that the potential to use this technology in the war against terrorism was a major factor in convincing Congress to renew support for the project. ] I know what your thinking! ” Damnez ces Yankees ! “ It’s like the Concorde, and the French Nuclear Umbrella to counter the Soviets in the cold war. Time to forget mini nukes and focus that French zeal on issues domestiques.
