This month's 'Select' Posted Sun Nov 5 13:49:56 GMT 2000 by 'Jon'

There's a feature about on-line comedy/entertainment. TVGH gets a mention, though CB is kept anonymous, for some reason.

Maybe because he writes it "anonymously" (unless you know about whois). It does seem odd that he bothers given that it's linked to Zeppotron which has his name on it.
Plus, all this Zeppotron company "produces" is stuff that CB used to do on his own anyway (apart from that unfunny-looking Flash thing - who actually bothers watching these things?*)
And, it's a bit off taking contributions from people that are going to be siphoned into the content coffers of his big, evil company. Not that he ever used my submissions anyway.


*oh yeah, students.

Yeah. He used mine for a bit. Then stopped. Don't you get the gruesome feeling that that TVGH the TV series / book will probably be full of unpaid outside contributors' stuff, since TVGH the site is getting more and more emaciated of ideas?

On the plus side, I really like Unnovations though. Makes me laugh like a splintered horse.

Outside contributor's TVGH submissions are never used for anything for which I / Zeppotron receive payment, e.g. the Loaded 'digest' version of TVGH.

Doing the site has been trickier of late and I agree that the 20th October edition was pretty piss-poor. Very pleased with the current one, though. If / when it becomes too much of a millstone, I'll call a halt or pass it on to someone else.

Hackenbush: I've said it before and I'll say it again -- can you plz plz send me your email address? I've got something you might be interested in.

Uh, I thought I did. However, I'll do it again.

Still no sign of it. Send it to the main tvgh address if you please. Or just post it here if you're feeling reckless.

Yeah. Probably a bit unfair there. "Centrifuge Bay" alone makes up for poor edition last time.
