Not enough Danes? He’s not doing demography, he’s telling a story. Should Nick Cave be playing more ragtime? Where are the Italian neorealist films of Guillermo del Toro? Complaini…

> do you mean not every tests positive for seroconversion months after infection This wasn't your point but I'm trying to see whether this is accounted for in the study. I don't th…

From their earlier posts it sounds like they're encountering some kind of MySQL performance issue, which in my (horrible) experience can be extremely difficult for your jack of all…
