    page?

06. Are you guys communists?
07. Do you have photos of Lil' Bow Wow's penis?
08. Can you give me Slim Shady's postal address?
09. My obvious lack of a sense of humour has hurt and offended
    my closed-minded feelings and urges me to write you an
    angry email (possibly with poor syntax and awful
    spelling) telling you how I feel about it.
10. Can I reference or otherwise use any of the material
    available on your website(s)?
11. This is stupid. Don't you have a life?
12. Did you know that ''con'' means ''vagina'' in old French?
13. I've been reading with interest through some of your archives,
    and I have to say that the moderation of the comments on your
    articles was quite appalling. I hope that that has changed.
    What standards do you hold your commenters to?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

01. Can I advertise on Capital of Nasty?

No; we are a self-sustaining non-profit non-organization which is currently
not seeking any advertisers. While this policy towards advertising might
eventually change, ours is both a statement against the saturation of
consumerism in popular media and a stand towards the aesthetics in digital
typography without any third-party distractions. We can almost say that with
a straight face.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

02. Can I have a con.ca account/subdomain/shell/email address?

No.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

03. If I link to your website, will you link to mine?

No; in fact, we no longer maintain a link page. If you feel something about
your site is worth mentioning on CoN (for example, as a daily News-item)
please feel free to contact us.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

04. Where is your Golden Testicle/Issue/Volumes/History/Links
    page?

They're all gone. Most of that stuff was obsolete, anyway. The new site
makes navigation, as well as maintenance, significantly simpler for everyone.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

05. Why am I no longer getting the text-issues of your ezine?

Our main goal behind CoN is to learn, improve and have fun. If, at any
time, we don't enjoy something that's supposed to be fun, we stop doing it.
Immediately. Sending out text issues got more time consuming than before
making it significantly less enjoyable than when we first started. There
are no plans to resume this service. Yes, it makes us sad, too.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

06. Are you guys communists?

No, despite the fact that we call ourselves the CCCP (Collective
Communist Computing Proletariat).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

07. Do you have photos of Lil' Bow Wow's penis?

No. What's wrong with you?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

08. Can you give me Slim Shady's postal address?

No; on CoN we have one article that happens to have the words "Eminem" and
"address", causing hordes of clueless people searching for Mr. Shady's
contact info to land on our site. We can assure you that we do not
know how to get in touch with him and you should look elsewhere for
that information.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

09. My obvious lack of a sense of humour has hurt and offended my
    closed-minded feelings and urges me to write you an angry email
    (possibly with poor syntax and awful spelling) telling you how
    I feel about it.

Please do; we always look forward to stupid, insensitive, misguided emails
that look like they've been written by the mentally incompetent. In return,
we guarantee our replies to always be witty, smart and, when applicable,
with clear instructions on acts of self-induced fornication.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. Can I reference or otherwise use any of the material
    available on your website(s)?

In most cases, yes; as long as it is not-for-profit, the material remains
unchanged in form or character and credit is given where credit is due.
Please note that some material on CoN (or affiliated websites) is made
available solely to CoN and cannot be reprinted elsewhere, while other
material requires the expressed consent of the author of the work.
It is generally good etiquette to contact us first--regardless of the
work in question--and we can arrange something, including contacting
the author.

Although you are welcome to reference any of the material present on CoN,
you will need to do so according to the standards of your college or
faculty. Do note that while referencing online work is allowed by most
post-secondary institutions, using only web-related references may cause
your paper or research to be considered invalid.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

11. This is stupid. Don't you have a life?

Don't you?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

12. Did you know that ''con'' means ''vagina'' in old French?

We've been made aware.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

13. I've been reading with interest through some of your archives, and I
    have to say that the moderation of the comments on your articles was
    quite appalling. I hope that that has changed. What standards do you
    hold your commenters to?

None whatsoever.
