Every other day we spend an hour or two in the threads, but it is not to tamp down the heated plaints of our French correspondents. No we spend this good time searching out and deleting the recrement of spammers.

Spammers burrow into Pave and scatter their scut everywhere. Thinking themselves, oh, so clever, they usually post in dormant threads.

To curtail their fun we have begun to close the oldest threads to comments. Eventually only threads for the most current three months will be kept open.

So if you want to have the last word on some French position from the past year and a half -- or to roust Marc Levis (who originally signed himself Jean Duplant) one more time -- best get cracking.

Since the past year, we've only had debates between an assembly of deaf people.

M. Stéphane,

Then we suggest either a personal investment in a store of Q-tips or acquiring an ear-horn of ample capaciousness to rectify your impairment.

If you are pressing your ear up against your monitor expecting the sounds of debate, dear boy,...you must read the comments. Or are you blind to boot?

Drop by anytime with your breezy non-comments. I suppose this aphoristic pap beats your peddling sobs for Pali-meat bombs.

what are "Pali-meat bombs?"

Just Curious,

A Pali-meat bomb is the ordnance nomenclature for a Palestinian terrorist who is re-purposed as a suicide bomber.

Damian :

Metaphoricly speaking.
It seems that you don't know what it means... I'm not surprised.

M. Stéphane,

We are not surprised that little or nothing surprises you as everything apparently escapes you.
