Appologies - I appologize for shirking my newsposting responsibilities. It's not hard to update at least one news item a day, and there's really no excuse for me not doing so. I feel like I've been letting you guys down, and I'll try my best to make it up to you. Unless I'm on vacation from this point on, I vow that I'll make at least one newspost a day on this site, and all sites for which I post news for.
