Author's Note:

Please Note the Web Address is Opprobrius, which is missing the final O in the spelling. This was a conservation decision made by the crack Opprobrious team who felt it was unfair to make people type any more than necessary. It was not an accidental mispelling that would require a whole new blog to be created. That would imply laziness and a slothful demeanor as well as a eh.. STAFF that could work all day on a project and still get the title wrong. Therfore, it was a carefully calculated and designed conservation decision. And of course the thought of leaving the web address misspelled strikes us as.... Opprobrious.
