Many many years ago, child, your Editor was gazing out at the storm-swept wastes of the North Atlantic from his humble penthouse in the topmost battlement of Chatfield Towers, and wondering what to do with himself (apart from that which makes you go blind).  He found that he was bored with throwing stones at kittiwakes and showing false lights to lure supertankers on to the rocks.  Surely his vast brain, combined as it was with talents befitting a Renaissance man, could be employed in righting wrongs and rectifying the many injustices of this troubled world.  So he resolved to found a respected journal whose pages would be made available to the greatest minds of the age, so that their wisdom might flow forth in a healing tide to banish pain and suffering from the earth.  This splendid mag would be called EPSILON, which sounds good but doesn't actually mean anything (yes, yes, 5^th letter of the Greek alphabet.  I knew that.  Smartass).

Unfortunately, things didn't turn out quite that way.  The pages of Epsilon were immediately taken over by office cats, small hairy dogs, The Lurkers in Unsavoury Sheds Society, Sulphur and his colonial chums and various other manifestations who value as dispensers of wisdom must be considered marginal at best.  And nothing to be done about it now, either.  However, Epsilon has now gone all cyber and cutting edge of technology, and is ready to rot the brains of any rash surfers not looking where they are going.  You have been warned.

(Some fellow obsessives may wonder what happened to Epsilon nos. 1 to 3.  Unfortunately these have long since vanished from the archives.  A great loss to humanity, but it will just have to bear up.  Screams of disappointment don't achieve anything.)

(No milk next Tuesday.  Thank you)
