If you don't like my stuff, don't read it. And, by the way, read the
archives from 1992-6 or so and you will find very similar stuff. Ask
Bob Hettinga, who used to practice this same kind of "why can't you
write the kind of articles I _like_!" pressuring, if I am writing
much more differently.
And ask Lawrence Dettweiler and simlar nitwits of the mid-90s if I
have gotten more abrasive.
If you are basing judgements on the "over the few weeks I've been
back," you're obviously just another fool.
