Before I forget
Once upon a time I could be reached by email via the quite wonderful oddpost email client - using oliverm@oddpost.com. Then yahoo bought them. While the oddpost goodness seems to have been adopted wholesale by yahoo, I’m still not happy, so the gmail address available via my email link on the top right there is now my permanent one.
Thanks for emailing, oddposters.

That’s true, their pre-existing webmail client is still the default for most users as far as I can tell. But I imagine they’ll get everyone onto the oddpost-derived interface in time.
I logged in recently and really disliked the oddpost-derived interface, primarily because of the animated ads. Gmail intrudes much less on the basic process of emailing, while still getting the ads in.

AWVC uses the Markdown formatting system, a very simple way to format your comments. Whitespace is converted directly. Enclose a phrase with asterisks to italicise, and two asterisks (**) to embolden. A good introduction to the Markdown format is available here.
Cleverly, though, the preview is basically useless (it will just show what you've typed). If you want a real preview, enter your text into the Markdown Dingus, then re-enter it here.
