Hey everybody, I just wanted to let you know that due to some shake ups in the online advertising industry and all that, I can no longer afford to pay the bills on the site here. Hosting costs have gotten extremely expensive due the very high hit rate on the site, and also, I'm running out of disk space on my server. So, as of Friday evening, eZabel is going away. I hope that you have all enjoyed the time you've spent here, and maybe even learned something. Adieu!

Read on for more information...

I can just see the look on your face right now, you probably looked like this when you read that.

As soon as I saw that pseudo-travesty news posting --- oh my disquieting thoughts! The eZabel quagmire, like all civilizations prior, had encountered it's destined violent death like a regular, hard working carpenter ant that never hurt anybody, but just kept to himself and worked his regular hours only to suddenly, for no apparent reason other than the heat of the day, which he was glad it was warming up, was suddenly attacked by a conniving, calculating, deceptive, much larger than the simple minded hard working carpenter ant, mean, ugly, bright red KILLER ANT. But then, before I could finish reading the news post, I realized it was a typical Ian prank, the kind of seemingly harmless shenanigan that he, like the killer ant, is destined to try on unsuspecting loyal, hard working, eZabel stalwarts, yes, like perhaps other pre-eZabel Zabels likely did before him. Furthermore, having in mind the aforementioned killer ant, contrawise, thus, thusly and so on, any honest hearted person would have to realize [BANG!]
