So the saga continues.
Martin in his wisdom, decided that he needed a holiday to escape the hostility on the Mudcat, so he took himself and his family away for a while. He told the Mudcatters that he was away on holiday but secretly they all knew he would be in the first internet cafe to find out what was happening on the Cat, if indeed he was really on holiday at all. Holidays do not keep people from the internet. Besides, Martin would so miss Georgiansilver that he could not resist coming into the arena to insult/wind up/shout expletives at him. Tough guys from Chicago would never wimp out when dealing with retired guys who are published writers...or would they?
Martin...the challenge is still on.
