i've not noticed much dumbing down here of late, to be honest, but given the content of the email i've just received from the chap, i suspect merrick's recent absence can hardly be responsible for any drop in standards...
"old men's tatty watter" indeed, merrick.
he has been extremely busy of late, though... and i'm sure that's responsible for his scarcity here. so don't worry (if you were) - he's alive and well and will doubtlessly return presently.
