Hello my little nuts and bolts! It is I, FakePlasticTree, back again to bring you this week’s highlight of noteworthy comments! You might have taken note of Comments of the Week being absent last week. We’ve been having some management issues, and we knew this could happen. We were all prepared for it, but I shall ride this ship straight into a black hole and snatch the only escape pod left for myself before I let it die. We are all still going strong! And to prove it, here’s this week’s treasures
