AK got computer problems tonight, and I found out too late to step in. But, fortunately, not too late to put up this meaningless drivel and change the mail link. So send me some mail at agent@thegia.com, or otherwise the whole of tomorrow's column will consist of me vainly trying to cover up the fact that I have nothing to talk about, kinda like I'm doing right now. And nobody wants that, do they? Didn't think so.
