As upset as I got with Steve for that long-ago poem (he'll remember), I, too, always read all the way through his rants; and I do it mostly because, yes, the writing is truly impressive.

Yes. I agree on all points. I think Steve has a future as a professional ranter.

Steve,

I actually read all the way through each of your rants, and always with awe, because of
the amount of time & energy you spend on them,
the perfect punctuation & grammar, and
the fact that each time you seem to be pursuing the rant instead of other programmatic (read: money-making) activities.

Articles on big thinkers like Dyson get me all nostalgic sometimes.
And here I thought only Nick Thompson read my rants all of the way through (and then mostly to find modal language).

I'm sure Doug at least skims them for Punny opportunities, but I figured everyone else just glazed over and hit <Next>!

Back to the grindage...
