Between blotch and blok

[Note this is gravity we're talking about and not gravitas, which the ravens gave up even intending to acquire a lo-o-o-ng time ago.]

No the problem is the standard habit of imposing physical laws inappropriately due to how one the non-physical world is visualised. Clear? No, we thought not. The ravens' extensive trawling of the world's press[1] overfills the ravens' inbox. Simple answer, get some more filters set up. No problem. Check the automatically filed and organised messages and the world is virtually turned upside down. Why? Evidently, We apply gravity to my perception of the world behind the glass screen. We evidently feel that messages come in and land--plop onto the doormat!--on top of previous messages. Our main inbox is set up that way (except when Netscape's crashed in such a way as to forget that we like things that way). By default, the folders and subfolders add things to the bottom.We don't have to apply the notion that things fall from the top of the screen like apples from Newton's tree, but we do. The fact that, as ever, the PC doesn't read our mind, annoys.

[The Neko Case track is, btw, stunning.]

[1] An important subject in itself. Why did I need to read the NY Times to find out about the EU caving in to the US over the ICC: Europeans to Exempt U.S. From War Court? That didn't make it into the Radio 4 news or the World Service news. So the BBC has ignored it. Nor is it in the online headlines of three of the UK's broadsheets. Too busy with Edwina currying Major and Antonio filling Blackpool's sea-breezes with bleugh.
