If you missed today's edition of Steyn's Clubland Q&A live around the planet - on a rare Monday this week due to the vagaries of the calendar - here's the action replay.

Thank you for all your kind comments as The Mark Steyn Club settles into its ninth year, and thank you to all the brand new members of the Steyn Club - and to those long-time members who've bought a chum a SteynOnline Gift Certificate or a Mark Steyn Club Gift Membership.
