The website past its quarter century of existence in 2025 and for historical reasons the same Copyright Notice remains.
In those days, around the millennium, no more than 25 million people used the internet and the site pre-dates all social media.

We have introduced one phrase to British political commentary in recent years but, of more interest, on 24 May 2024, struggling to find a way to suggest a talented artist had had material attributed to her on her behalf that year, we wrote:
"Non-AI and non-spoof stuff has its proper artistic signature
..... In 2024 nobody wants to find herself with inauthentic slop foisted on her. It goes against the trend of how the best will survive in this age of deception."
We believe this to be the first time AI generated material, in this case music, was referred to as slop.
(The rolling review has since been modified but the waybackmachine for 2024 will find it).
This is just a curio.
