This just in via PM from Tommy Tech Guy at OS Hq:
The poet/philosphers have seized control of the building. I've locked myself in the mop closet with only my laptop, a bagel and a box of apple juice, afraid to make a sound for fear I will be found and forced to fix the platform so OS will work the way it should again. Again? I mean, finally. 
Here's the deal: Two guys came storming into the office on Friday armed with what they said was "a brilliant idea." Jake had called in "well" again and Kerry was asleep at the controls, again. These two guys - Art and James - or maybe it was one guy with two voices named Art James. Dunno. Anyways these two voices are talking about philosophy and Fat Tire beer and more philosophy and speaking in short phrases, like poetry but nothing rhymes a-and...glug glug glug...they wake Kerry up and then tie him up and wheel him into the corner with an X-Box to play with.
Anyways, I was in the mop closet taking a snack break when this happened. I quickly locked the door from the inside. 
This guy or guys kept speaking in short phrases and philosophical quotations until I figured out they want OS to get worse and worse until it crashes for good. It's a Hegelian analogy, the voice called James, said, for what's happening to the U.S. The spam is to OS what the brainwashing by politicians is to the TV watchers. After the election in November the politicians that have spent the most money on TV ads will be in complete control of the country and will turn it into a giant forced labor camp.
Oops, the pizza they ordered just arrived. I can smell it! I think I'll come out of the closet now and join them.
Your friend, Tommy Tech Guy.

Good work, Matt, wish the issue will finally resolve, cause trully I do not want to loose my friends...Rated.
OS is more than a Hegelian analogy of the USA...at a HIGHER DIALECTICAL LEVEL
(achieved with .05 percent blood alchohol level and
50 percent Tummy/Pizza level)
it is a Hegelian microcosm for the Human Condition Itself!

“the life which the mind apprehends and enjoys as it rises
to the absolute unity of all things —
may be described as a play of love with itself;
but this idea sinks to an edifying truism,
or even to a platitude,
when it does not embrace in it the earnestness,
the pain, the patience, and labor, involved in the negative aspect of things,” said
the Master, full of good German hops.
~
Patience has its limits, however.
But, as the Master also says,
“To be aware of limitations is already to be beyond them”.
~
We are now limitless. Because of all these limitations.
I daresay we must credit our oppressors, the senescent Kerry and the guileless Jacob, with bringing us to this point of this quantum leap-Breakthrough to the next step of Conscious Wisdom. Having delivered us hereto, this motley Two has earned our mercy if not our loyal admiration.
Our loyal admiration must be reserved for the Spirits. Whether they reside in our beer mugs or in “The Cunning of Reason”, the dialectical advance into Freedom which is the essence of History…
~
Upon reaching the Golden Mean of .08 percent,beerfully,History, is a conscious, self-meditating process — Spirit emptied out into Time; but this externalization, this kenosis, is equally an externalization of itself; the negative is the negative of itself. This Becoming presents a slow-moving succession of Spirits, a gallery of images, each of which, endowed with all the riches of Spirit, moves thus slowly just because the Self has to penetrate and digest this entire wealth of its substance"
did not the master say

I am tired of wrestling with the Open Salon interface and will be moving my posts to my own blog at lewlortonphoto.com/blog.
If you want to write for others to read - and not just those will will fight to actually get on - why continue here?
I don't see it getting better.
Best wishes,
Lew
