I refuse to accept the cynical notion that nation after nation must spiral down a militaristic stairway into the hell of nuclear annihilation... I believe that even amid today's mortar bursts and whining bullets, there is still hope for a brighter tomorrow... I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed. »» Martin Luther King, Jr., Address in Acceptance of Nobel Peace Prize - 10 December 1964

I used the service for 45 hours, 25 minute, 29 seconds during the month of December. Then, January 1st they’re gone, saying they’ll be back on January 15th. On January 15th even the page saying they’ll be back is gone. Then, on February 1st, they’re suddenly back as ClickDough once again. Oh, and my total pay for…
