James Nicoll has a thread about Neal Asher and comments he has made in his blog. Some of the followup comments are from people who have decided not to start reading Neal Asher because of what he says in his blog.
I had already decided to stop reading Neal Asher, whose books I rather enjoy, because of what his blog revealed about his character. The blog was mostly rather banal, but there were a few comments which made me think he is not someone I would like if I met him - worse, he is not someone to whom I want to give my money.
Update: I wrote this some time ago but never posted it.

Say no to 0870
Just discovered, rather belatedly, SayNoTo0870.com.
Most companies in the UK use non-geographic (0870,0845 and variations) for customer service and other contact numbers. While these are nominally cheaper than a long-distance call, if you have an inclusive minutes package on your landline or mobile, these numbers are usually excluded and therefore cost more than a normal number.
SayNoTo0870 is a resource for finding alternatives to the published numbers.
A great idea.
