The real cost of the Hodge debacle

With all the damage Hodge has done to his reputation through his antics it's easy to forget the toll this has taken on the Adelaide, nay, the global economy. I've personally cost the british taxpayer many hundreds of pounds these last few days by completely neglecting the job I'm paid to do in favour of reading every skeric of Hodge related banter on this board and elsewhere throughout the World Wide Web, and I suspect I'm not alone.

How many others out there have got no work done while this saga unfolds? Let's assume there's 50 other tragics who've wasted 2 days on this, average wage say $50k, assuming 230 working days a year this equates to $217 per working day lost. Total cost to the global economy $21,739.

Julius Hodge, hang your head in shame.

I'm being paid by a private defence contractor to surf every Hodge related blog, news site, sound bite or look-a-like link on the web apparently.

The defence of Australia can wait - it's the Sixer's defence that my hourly rate is currently contributing to.

Jack, one of my clients, curious about a lack of reply to an email, wondered yesterday if I was off hiding in whatever spot Hodge had found.

Sector7G, mostly flat-fee (text ads or Dunk) or per click rather than per impression. And regulars (which would be the main increase in traffic) click ads at about 10% the rate of outsiders. No one's getting rich off this site, unfortunately.

Today's traffic is 50% up over the same date last year.

The real cost is the truth wont come out again,
and this state and country is TOO SMALL for all these sports for any true sports person to gain a living in his/her sporting background. I do hope Hodge gets a game in the US.

Is there a chance Kent will do a vid scoop with Isaac on why hoopsSA crashed yesterday?
I've got a few questions I'd like answered:
1 .. Why was Isaac uncontactable during that outage?
2 .. Was his mobile turned off?
3 .. Did Phil put him up to it?
4 .. Will Isaac blow the kick-back from the hoopsSA traffic on a new server, or detailing the Ferrari?
