Okay, sorry about the horrible pun in the title. (And right after I ranted about such things, too.) And, lest the phrase bring up any unwanted mental imagery, it's you that'll be going TOPless—but only briefly. This is to let you know that I'll be temporarily shutting down The Online Photographer (TOP) come Thursday for a short summer break. I believe I'll be off for a week, but it might be as long as ten days. I have in mind several projects for that time (but then, I always have in mind several projects).
I'm hoping to set up a few "automated posts" today and tomorrow to help you rummage around in the archives. So do check back, even though I'll be silent and things won't be as usual.
It's only temporary. August is actually a big month, with our next print offer coming up among other things. (It will hopefully be the first of four print sales between now and late January 2012, if all the many puzzle pieces come together.)

Enjoy your hiatus!

Have a nice break Mike! You deserve it. Now I have a chance to catch up on all the past articles from TOP that I haven't read.

Will we get the weeks-old, unpublished review of the XZ-1?

Well that's no good; how am I supposed to waste my time?
I hope you make good progress on your projects!

Sorry. Request denied. Can't live a day without new TOP content. Please re-shackle.

Enjoy the time off, Mike.
Me, I'm going tto spend the time actually taking some pictures.

I'm glad to hear you're getting a break and hope you enjoy your time away from TOP.

All I ask is that you re-open long enough to post any Ctein articles in the pipeline.
