REALIZING the Symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation.

Thank you for correcting us. How are the Wads doing lately?

Well considering we just sold all our spaceships to a non-WA nation just so we can shuttle from here to there, and that the WSA is threatening to shut down Stargate travel... just swell! You?


Ambassador Norrland has been sent back to deal with a great influx of foreign customers intending to use the Elkean dominions as places to register their spacecraft for flags of convenience! Money is rolling in like there's no tomorrow!

Certainly this means that she aint around here that often. But who cares - there's always a business opportunity fot every crazy proposal that comes up along here for us to take! Like IBS pills!

Again, please do stay on topic. Why is this an international issue? IBS is very rarely life threatening, and can be adequately treated (or not) within individual nation states. Why does the WA need to legislate on this?
As an editor I seam to spend an awful lot of thyme going threw issues and checking that they're no oblivious errars. Its a tough job but someone's got too do it!

OOC: Considering your propensity to use IBS as a reoccuring joke, both with your ambassador and in other situations, that's simply not believable. It looks more like an attempt to irritate and harass.
