ruzuzu There's a well-thumbed issue of Reader's Digest from '93 (be sure to read "I am Joe's colon") and a yellowed Watchtower pamphlet, if you're sleepy.
I too, have been led astray (it wasn't my fault), lost my follow links as well as my also ons. The Great Guide that is Bilby is wise and to follow his funstructions would be prudent.
I can relate — albeit, not about blood, per se. Two years ago, I was visiting the UK (Bath) and I'm sure I was served squirrel. I asked the server at least six times what the "game stew" was and he skillfully avoided telling me with some rather creative excuses. The next day, I read about how squirrel meat was being adopted by some adventurous chefs.
I'll change my moniker.. I'll get a stealth keyboard with Al Gore rhythmic WEP barriers... I'll even learn how to spell correctly — no wordnikian will be able to trace my wordprints! Good luck trying to find an inner punctum in a wordstack.
