That is a monumental lump of text. If I really wanted someone to read what I had written, or cut and pasted for that matter. I would break it into readable paragraphs.

I cannot possibly comment on the content of the above post as I have only read the title......and seeing the great slavverin lump of text....makes me want to agree that it does affect some internet users....perhaps, not all.

Margaret, click on the Guardian article link from which the large lump of text is a quote. It's much easier to read.

Thanks Sue.....I'm not sure if I want to...maybe later.
Anyway, aren't you supposed to be in that potting shed?
(I'm supposed to vacuuming the upstairs and changing the bed.......! )

Now, now, Kestrel - if you were a real conspiracy theorist you would realise that the controlling elite wish to deter the population from using the internet, and that is why such blurb is issued by the (controlled) media.

It is mind altering - it publicises their devious shenanigans so people become aware of their greed and corruption - no wonder 'they' try to deter you from using it.

Potting shed is for after lunch - the sun doesn't get round to the back garden till then!

What's your excuse?

I think I have ADHD .......either that or I am very distractable.
Himself thinks the housework fairy does it....I must be the housework fairy!

No such thing Margaret, ADHD is nothing more than an excuse for inappropriate parenting! (In my opinion of course, goodness this comment is going to get me shot!!!)

I'll tell my mum...she will find that really funny(and I am not being fly here Anne)
She will give me a clip behind the ear for misbehaving.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Mind you, she'd have to catch me first.......I can run faster than her...well, she is 85!.

Agree with you Anne, not sure Marg will or her indomitable Ma!

[Margaret Pilkington]

I do....I have always said that children diagnosed as such, were just naughty and not given enough boundaries, or the boundaries were not maintained (if they were ever set)....but so many people disagreed with me, that I started to keep these thoughts to myself. at present they can't police my thoughts(unless MargaretR has some evidence that they can....ooh scary).

And you are right about Ma being indomitable too!
