  2. Flip answer: did we have one to start with? Serious answer: I'm pretty sure we will. It's the long-term decline that concerns me now, the gyrations on the way less so.

Unfortunately, because of a plague of spam comments, you need to be a "registered user", otherwise your observations will be buried in a torrent of multilingual nonsense. Please do comment!

Say what you please, so long as it's phrased politely and is not libellous or legally proscribed. Fact, reason and wit are keenly welcomed.
